PTA FACTS and Events

The St. Mary of the Lakes School PTA will help parents and teachers develop a mutual understanding and appreciation of the ideals of Catholic education. Through the PTA’s commitment to our school and community, parents can actively participate in enhancing their child’s education, academically, physically, socially and spiritually. We strive to keep families informed via Weekly Update Newsletter, email updates, Blue Folder and the school website.

The PTA offers something for which everyone can get involved.

Fundraising: the major goals of our fundraising programs are to offset the cost of tuition for each student by contributing to the Annual School Budget. Additionally, fundraising dollars help provide enhancements to our school, provide supplies to teachers and students, and offer the opportunity to help enhance a Catholic education throughout the year.
Social Events: The major goals of our social programs are to foster a sense of community and build relationships for all school families.

Each year, the PTA helps offset the cost of Tuition for each student by contributing to the school budget. These funds are generated throughout the year by the PTA Sponsored Fundraisers from July 1st through June 15th.

If you have any suggestions/concerns or would like to volunteer for an event please feel free to contact the PTA Executive Board at pta@smlschool.org.
