PTA Debuts New Family-Friendly Online Video Store

The PTA Video Store is an exciting new resource
for PTA members, friends, and families!

As you know, PTA encourages parents to make informed decisions about their family’s use of media and technology. Now, with the support of Hewlett-Packard, the Motion Picture Association of America and Harmony Digital Media consortium, PTA has launched ptavideostore.com, a family-friendly online video store where parents can purchase or download (G, PG, and PG-13 rated) movies, television shows, and other exclusive video content. In conjunction with this initiative, parents can learn about the ratings system and find video entertainment suitable for their families. PG-13 content is offered with strict parental controls, requiring that a valid credit card number be entered to authorize the purchase.

PTA is now offering both virtual and tangible PTA Video Gift Cards online and PTA Video Gift Cards will soon be available at select retailers. PTA Video Gift Cards can be used to purchase movies on the website; they generate significant funds for PTA and make a great gift.

In the fall, PTA will also make this exciting fundraising program available to local PTA units.

Please visit ptavideostore.com and spread the word to friends, family, and members.
