Testimonials
With the availability to the Help Desk, Totem was able to assist us in creating an effective way to collect memberships through links embedded in parent emails, our school website, social media sites and printed out fliers and postcards containing the QR code. We look forward to seeing our membership numbers stay strong next year due to the automatic renewal option.

We ❤️ the TOTEM system at West Creek Academy! We have promoted it by including the link in emails, on our website, on our Facebook page, and via text. Our families have expressed how easy it has been for them to use, too! Thanks, California State PTA, for bringing electronic membership to us! We had just over 700 last year. We are happy with 500 only three weeks into the school year, but are hoping to reach 1,000
