LASA PTA Membership
Why PTA? Because every child needs a voice.

Our Mission: to make every child's potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children. We will advocate for all children and public education and inspire and engage other parents to be involved.

Please join us to ensure that supporting our schools is about the work of parents, educators and community members coming together to back the future of every child. To help ensure Texas PTA has a strong advocacy voice, please join the PTA at www.lasaptsa.org.
Save the Date: PTA Meeting
Our next PTA meeting will be on September 17 at 8:15am. More details will be forthcoming in subsequent newsletters.
Project Graduation Early Auction is OPEN!
Austin FC (with access to Lexus Club) and Eric Clapton tickets are now available for bidding at pflasa.org/auction! Both events are September 15, and bidding will be live through September 12 - don't miss out!

What is Project Graduation? On graduation night, we host a safe environment for seniors. To defray the cost of such a large event and to ensure that no student is turned away for financial reasons, we hold an online auction to raise the money needed to host this event. Our main auction will be in November, but there will be early auctions for events occurring before then. Keep an eye out for ACL passes coming soon!
LAST Chance to get LASA Swag in the LASA Store
Thank you for supporting LASA High School - a portion of your purchases goes directly to LASA! Just a reminder that the LASA Store closes on Sept. 7th at 11:59pm. No orders will be taken after that.

We have short & long sleeve t-shirts, dri-fit, hats, PJ bottoms, sweatshirts, zippered jacket, hoodies, sweatpants and Raptor Masks. The LASA Store is only open once a year, so get all of your birthday, holiday, teacher gifts now, and don't forget for those few cold days we have in February!

(*** other LASA clubs/organizations may sell different spirit items during the year to support their groups - be on the lookout)

LASA Teachers are looking for gently used items!
Please join the LASA GIVE/TRADE FACEBOOK GROUP (Facebook account needed). Similar to Buy Nothing Neighborhood groups, this group is specific to our LASA community.
