Overview

Mission

The goal of the PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is to build strong working relationships among parents, teachers and administration in support of our students. We recruit and coordinate volunteers, plan and organize a mix of educational and fun school activities, provide support to our teachers, principal and office staff and much more.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our LP PTA provides a wide range of services/programs for our school, including After School Enrichment Programs (ASEP), Summer Reading, DADs club, and LP Reads.We also host a lot of fun and educational events for our school including Science Fair, Stem Night, Family Bingo, Multi Cultural Event, Reflections, Spelling Bee and Dance night as well as the much beloved Variety show. Some of our events are fundraisers (Fun Run, Carnival, Yearbook, Spiritwear). The money raised from these activities benefits our school directly by providing teachers with funds for supplies and teaching aides, as well as staff training and development. The money also goes towards schoolwide office supplies and materials, subscriptions and equipment needed for supplemental classes, such as physical education, art and computers. In addition to all of this, we typically, fund one capital improvement project per year on campus. Recently, the PTA provided a new water filling station, a new audio-visual system in the multi-purpose room, and helped fund new playground equipment and outdoor furniture.
