Hello Lockwood Families!
A new PTA executive team was nominated in March and we are excited to serve the families, staff and students of Lockwood! We want to continue to strengthen our family events, fundraisers, community outreach projects, advocacy programs and to support our incredible staff.
We invite each of you, every family, to join with us as we look toward next year and consider the ways we can positively impact our children. What do you love to do? What energizes you? What are your gifts? Do you have a welcoming spirit and desire to serve families by helping with Morning Traffic? Or do you work best “behind the scenes” so working on the duplication or membership team is more your speed? Perhaps lending your gift of creativity to the Talent Show or reaching out to our neighbors in need through the Holiday Helpers program suits you best. Whatever your gift, skill level or time availability, there is a place for you to serve.
We invite you to turn the page and discover where you might ‘find your place’ in our Lockwood community.
With Great Anticipation,
Your 2009-2010 Executive Team
