July 2011 

For some the countdown has begun to start a brand new school year and for some the dread of summer ending has begun.  It's amazing how quickly the 3 months can seem to pass.  During the summer, the LHS PTSA has been getting ready for a brand new school year.  The first event happens before the classroom doors enter, it's when the PTSA/PTAs from the cluster get together and host a breakfast for many of the faculty and staff of all the schools in the cluster.  We couldn't pull off such a great even without the help of Publix and Community Coffee.  

 

For the first 9 years of schooling, PTA/PTSAs have a fundraising event of some magnitude in order to pay for everything that is giving to the school classrooms.  When your child gets to high school, there are plenty of groups that ask for your monitary support and fundraising effort but the PTSA only asks for one thing.  That is that every parent, child and faculty member join the PTSA.  Last year, we had 100% of faculty and staff and asking that parents and students step up and provide the same support that the amazing faculty and staff have.  

 

Usually after the request for money is made, the next question - before a payment is given - is "what am I getting for my money".  That's a great question.  On the school level, we will be providing technology for the classrooms and our goal is to provide 1-2 scholarships.  Your money not only supports the school but it also provides support to your children on the state and national level.  Volunteers at both levels fight for the rights and best interest of our children daily.  There are also discounts associated with your membership.

 

Please be sure to join the PTSA via meal pay or at open house.
