The Lafayette Lutheran School Parent-Teacher Organization is dedicated to assisting the faculty and staff in providing for the academic, spiritual, physical, and social development of our children, by sponsoring fundraising activities as well as supporting and participating in all school functions. We are committed to the efforts of the church to realize its vision of providing a Christian education for the students of our school. Click below for By-laws and Amendments.

The Executive office of the LLS PTO consists of the President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.

The Executive Officers also appoint various chairpersons. We currently have a Fundraising Chair, two Hospitality Co-Chairs and a Yearbook Chairperson. Assisting the Hospitality Chairs are the Room Moms. The Executive Board consists of all Executive Officers and all Standing Committee Chairpersons.

Memberships

Families are encouraged to join the PTO to support the school. Membership dues are $20.00 per year per family. Your dues help cover the costs of operating the PTO, as well as pay for the school directories each year. There are usually two or three meetings per year. Announcements are made each year for the dates. The PTO Board meets regularly to discuss various issues, such as fundraising, planned school activities, and other business. Joining the PTO is a great opportunity for families to get involved and address issues related to our school. Your family can make a difference.

Fundraising

Since its inception the PTO has focused on fundraising to support our teachers in their efforts to educate our children. The entire playground was sponsored by PTO fundraisers. More recent fundraisers focused on the classroom and provided teachers with computer programs and classroom supplies. Each school year the PTO Board meets with the Administration and teachers to determine where funds will be allocated.

Student Activities

Each year the PTO collects a $35.00 activity fee per student for all of the activities planned for your child/children during the school year. We have found this to be very convenient for the parents, as they do not have to send money for every party that arises. Listed below are the activities the PTO organizes and hosts with your fee:

  • Grandparent's Day
  • Thanksgiving
  • Christmas
  • Mardi Gras
  • Easter
  • National Day of Prayer
  • End of the Year Field Day
  • The hall and lunchroom decorations throughout the year
  • Teacher Appreciation Luncheon
 

Lafayette Lutheran School does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, gender, or ethnicity in admissions policies or hiring practices.
