For Georgia PTA, these differences and similarities include age, ethnicity, language and culture, economic status, educational background, gender, geographic location, marital status, mental ability, national origin, organizational position and tenure, parental status, physical ability, political philosophy, race, religion, sexual orientation, and work experience.

Diversity affects our mission-driven programs and services, our public image, interpersonal, personal, and organizational activities.

Health & Wellness Committee
overview
The Health & Wellness Committee has a focus on fostering a culture of health throughout the school using a variety of methods, the most important being parent engagement. As we all know, health and wellness encompasses food, nutrition, and exercise, but what we often miss is that it also includes our environment. Surrounding ourselves with healthy choices extends to the people in our lives, the thoughts we have and the decisions we make. Our conversations with, about, and around our children play a role in their health and well-being. This committee is expected to come up with thoughts, ideas, campaigns and/or programs that are related to helping Brumby students live healthy lives.
