The committee meets once or twice during the summer. Please contact the PTO at lapto@comcast.net or speak to a PTO Board member if you would like to help our new families feel welcome.
8. HARVEST FESTIVAL: The PTO would like to put together a group of parents to begin plans for an entry in Arvada’s Harvest Festival Parade next fall. The parade is scheduled to be on Saturday, September 6. Having an entry in the parade is an excellent way to advertise our school and show our school spirit!

9. LOST AND FOUND: All items from the lost and found will be outside today and the last day of school. Then it will all be taken and donated.

The Edukits are priced to include home delivery as they will not be handed out at back to school night. The PTO will have a limited supply of kits at back to school night but they will be gone fast so order now. Orders will be accepted until June 2.

Thank you for all your hard work this year, LAPTO.
