I hope everyone got a chance to enjoy a long weekend and that for those who celebrate your holiday was joyful. PFLASA did not meet on Friday, but we are meeting this Friday at 8:15am in the portable.
Since I don’t have anything to recap, I want to use this space to talk about a LASA tradition and whether it will continue. For many years LASA has served breakfast every morning for the two weeks of AP testing and stocked snacks for kids to grab before or in between exams. Several students end up with two AP exams on the same day! But new to AP test takers are also nervous and may not have brought sufficient provisions. LASA will be giving over 4,000 AP tests from May 5th-May 16th. We have breakfast covered this year, but we do not have anyone who has stepped up to shadow. Freshman and sophomore parents this should concern you because if there is no one to run this event next year then the tradition will die. It is usually easier to continue than to revive (which is especially true from a budgeting perspective). Most freshman and sophomores will only take one AP test but most juniors take five or more. If this tradition is important to you then please step to take this on. This is one of the few events that PFLASA directly interacts and supports students. Email me at president@pflasa.org.
Hoping for more lovely spring weather,
Ellen Stewart-Klein
PFLASA President
