Yeehaw! The book fair is coming! Oct 19-27 Plan a lunchtime shopping date with your child! Buy gifts for teachers! Volunteer to help! Our goal as a PTA this year is to have a voice for EVERY Lone Star. That means a membership goal of 750! To meet this goal, we’ll need ALL of our parents and teachers, a bunch of our students and grandparents, and even members of our community to join our PTA.

Why is it important to have such stellar PTA membership? Simple - The bigger we are the louder we are. The bigger our membership, the louder our voice is when we need to advocate for our kids at a local, state & national level.

Give a Lone Star a voice. Join today! http://LindseyPTA.org

Thank you!
