LFP PTA

THE PTA MOVE-A-THON IS THIS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17TH!

CLICK HERE TO LEARN ABOUT THE MOVE-A-THON

Whether you are an existing family at LFP, you just moved to our school, or you have an incoming kindergartner and are new to elementary school, we are so excited you are here and part of our community!

Each year, for the PTA to offer a variety of *mostly free!* events, programs, and services and due to lower enrollment this year, it will cost more than we originally expected and over $260/student for the PTA to operate. Your membership gives you a voice and a vote in the PTA, and sends a powerful message that you support our school community. The bigger our voice is, the more influence, advocacy, and stronger support network for students, staff, and families.

However, your membership alone cannot fund what the PTA can do. In fact, most of your PTA membership does not go to our school, but rather to local, state, and national PTA dues. We require support from families to provide the amazing programs such as:

Art Docent ($3,000/year) - Every student gets access to art programs throughout the year
Science Discovery Night ($3,000) - A free, family-friendly hands-on STEAM event with exhibitors and interactive booths
Bike Rodeo ($500) - Fun, safety-focused event for students to learn and practice bike-handling skills, get minor bike repairs, and access to bike resources
Back-to-School BBQ ($1,000) - Free dinner provided by the PTA, enjoy the DJ and get excited for the new school year!
Movie Nights ($850/year) - Enjoy free popcorn and a movie with classmates and their families.
Bingo Night ($200) - Students call and students can earn prizes by filling up their bingo cards!
One Book, One School ($3,100) - Every student in the school gets a book, reads it together, and each day classes discuss it together.
Staff Appreciation ($1,000/year) - The PTA loves showering our staff and teachers with treats, snacks, meals, and resources throughout the year.

This year, we are offering three easy levels of membership with your annual donation to the PTA included, allowing you to give per student, or choose a level that matches what you can give--including breaking up your contribution into monthly payments.

Give today and feel good knowing you've supported the full year of PTA activities, events, and programs for your student/s!

We are the Dolphins!

Dolphins brains are large and complex. They make plans together and cooperate with one another. They form stable communities. They demonstrate complex emotions such as happiness, sadness and grief. They can assess situations and problem solve.

Dolphins have senses of empathy, altruism and attachment. They are creative and playful creatures, and seem to enjoy playing and seek the companionship of others. They will work together to take care of injured or sick pod mates.

We are proud to call ourselves Dolphins and as the PTA, we strive to provide resources to encourage our students to learn new ways to problem solve through student enrichment, form stable communities through events, and work together as a community through advocacy.

Why the PTA matters

The Lake Forest Park Elementary Parent Teacher Association (LFP PTA) supports our teachers, families and school through community-building events, classes, services and more. Our organization is part of the National PTA, Washington State PTA and the Shoreline PTA Council.

PTAs address issues that are important to parents and public school administrators. We fight for full funding, quality teachers, and capabilities for schools to thrive. PTAs track local, state and national policies every day so we can advocate for what’s best for our students, families and schools. PTAs link families to important school and community information.

When you join the LFP PTA, you are supporting these initiatives. As our membership increases, so does our voice. Becoming a member does not commit you to volunteering or participating. By becoming a member you are expressing your belief in the importance of our schools, our students and our community.
