Dear Parents,

I would like to welcome you to the Las Flores 2010-2011 school year.

Shrinking budgets. Increasing class sizes. Government mandates. The challenges of delivering quality education are daunting. 

There is help. It is the PTA.

Our PTA is a group of dedicated parents doing what PTA does best: providing resources and programs to all families.

PTA addresses issues that are important to parents and public school administrators. We fight for full funding, quality teachers, and capabilities for schools to thrive. Membership is open to everyone. Our PTA is autonomous but supported by a national structure.  There are over 9 million reasons to speak up it is our children.

Las Flores Middle School PTA organizes hard-working, dedicated volunteers. Parents are ready to help implement school improvement programs.

Our PTA coordinate production of a school newsletter and information fliers, keeping the entire school community informed of current events, issues, and accomplishments. Regular meetings allow our PTA to share information with members.     

Our PTA is self-funding. We invite the entire school’s parent community to join, your membership fees help to pay for School Loop, Computer Lab, Hot Math, Assemblies, Community/Parent Education, Reflections, Red Ribbon Week, Teacher Appreciation.  We focus on what students need to be successful in their learning, including nutrition, health, school safety, physical fitness and general well-being working with the school to ensure that children succeed.   

Involved parents understand the challenges schools face and become part of the solution. By developing a closer relationship with parents, student achievement improves, and the school develops a positive reputation in the community.

We look forward to working with you in making our school a great learning environment for our students and our community.

Sincerely

Jill Rose

LFMS PTA President, 2010-2011
