What an awesome Fun Run!! The final tally is coming in and we will have raised about $35,000 for programs sponsored by the LCE PTA: class field trips, art docent & science lab programs, events like the spring carnival, science fair, and cultural night, after-school clubs, high school scholarships, classroom allocations for teachers, PE and music equipment, and much more!

Students, families, teachers, staff, volunteers and Apex team -- we are so proud of all the work you put into this fundraiser, and in awe of what we can all accomplish together for Little Cedars!

Also, a reminder that we are a 501c3 organization, and donations are tax-deductible. If you employer participates in a corporate matching program, such as Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks, you can submit paid donations to your company and they will match the amount!

What's up with the puzzle pieces around school?

Little Cedars PTA is proud to support Autism Awareness & Acceptance Month! With the help of PTA member and parent, BJ Taylor, we have created a page on our website with online resources for helping your family learn about the ways our friends with Autism Spectrum Disorder respond to the world.
Please visit our Autism Awareness & Acceptance webpage - but first, BJ wants to share the meaning behind the puzzle pieces you see around school!
