How YOU can support the Lake Harriet Community School PTA
 
Through your contributions and support, the LHCS PTA has year-to-year been able to achieve the goal of enrichment, education and experience for students, starting in Kindergarten right though 8th grade.
 
Each year, the PTA turns to YOU, our community of parents and friends, to achieve our goal of $200 in contributions per LHCS family. For this 2018-2019 year, our goal is $175,000 which goes directly to your student’s experience at LHCS.
 
What does YOUR support of the PTA bring to LHCS? Many of the activities and experiences that make your student’s school day special are funded only by the LHCS PTA. Imagine your student’s school life without the activities that open their world. That’s what your LCHS PTA is here to do – make that difference.
 
Here’s a short list of activities supported by the PTA:
 
  • Middle School Orchestra                                  
  • Art Adventure                        
  • STEM Curriculum materials                        
  • UC/LC Media Center
  • Accelerated Reading                                       
  • STEM 
  • ALPHA                                                         
  • Classroom Stipend for each teacher
  • Mid West Food Connection                              
  • Chess Club    
  • Math Counts                                                 
  • Science Fair
  • … and so much more
     
One goal, many ways to get there
 
In 2018-2019, the PTA has designed many ways for you to support the cause. The choice is yours. All we ask for is your support to reach our goal of $200 per family.
 
Annual Pledge Drive – 100% of Pledge Drive contributions go directly to the LHCS PTA. Totally tax deductible. Can be pledged many times – no limit to number or total of contributions. Additionally, your contribution is often multiplied through corporate/matching gifts. If you look for efficiency in your giving, this is for you. Find out how to contribute here.
