Volunteer Appreciation Week!

It's Volunteer Appreciation Week, and I want to shine a spotlight on my very favorite volunteers: our amazing PTA team! Every day I am so thankful we have the very best PTA team in town at LCTA. The PTA is made up entirely of parents volunteering their time, energy, hard work, creativity, talents, passions to our community and making all our days that much brighter, more fun, more memorable. Our PTA team supports our amazing teachers and staff year-round with appreciation days, treat trolleys, luncheons, socials, and more. The PTA puts on memorable events for our students, our families, our community year-round, from the Book Fair to Lion Fest to International Night to picnics and socials, and more. The PTA runs the uniform locker. The PTA puts together our school yearbook. The PTA runs the Reflections art program. The PTA is putting together flyers and weekly emails and monthly print newsletters to keep our community informed. The PTA manages our spirit wear creation and sales. The PTA is making promotion for our 5th graders even more special with awesome festivities and surprises. The PTA is constantly innovating and bringing first-time events like the MCM Fun Run and a Día de los Muertos altar to our school. Our volunteers are classroom liaisons for each of our homeroom teachers; they are supporting school-led initiatives like Blessings in a Backpack and our school gardens improvements; they are our Lion mascots at our events; and they are advocating for our community in School Board meetings. The PTA is doing late night meetings and early morning store runs to support whatever is needed. Our PTA team is the absolute best and I couldn't be more grateful.
