Did you Know?
The original template for the PTA was created at The Porch Club on Howard Street in Riverton!
A group of mothers from Riverton went to Washington DC for suffragette rights and the goal of creating a free public kindergarten in Riverton in 1896.
Two years later the first woman was elected to the School Board.
In 1900 they sent invitations throughout the State for a gathering in Riverton for the purpose of forming a State Mother’s Circle.
In October of that year a successful meeting was held and the circle was formed and later became known as the N.J. State Parent and Teacher Association (PTA) which continues as a national organization to this day.
