Please join us for our next PFLASA meeting, we’d love to see you!
Date: Friday, September 5
Time: 8:15 AM
Location: Portable by the tennis courts
We’ll share what PFLASA is doing, opportunities to volunteer, committee updates and as always we’ll have coffee and tea.
Great Gatherings (GGs) are an excellent way to build community and a fun way to help PFLASA’s fundraising efforts. So, grab some friends and host a party!
Hosts incur costs for the gathering and the ticket sales go to PFLASA. GGs can be held for your grade level to get to know your parent cohort, open to a mix of classes, or for the entire LASA population. As host, you determine your audience and size of your event. We suggest a ticket price of $30/ guest, but each event is unique and we are happy to work with you if you feel your event meets a lower or higher ticket price.
Some hosts come up with a theme but there is no pressure. Some ideas from the past: wine, beer or scotch tastings, yoga class, balloon twisting, blackjack, V day, Halloween.. You can elect to host in your home or at a venue.
How to host? Simply fill out the GGs Interest Form with all the dates and details of your event and someone will get in touch with you promptly!
Whether your kid is new to LASA, or adjusting to new teachers and new expectations, or in the thick of college applications, there are lots of reasons that their anxiety may be spiking right now. Please check out the Google slide presentation Anxiety and Anxiety Disorders in Teens which was put together by PFLASA’s Raising Healthy Raptors Committee. In it, you will learn strategies to help your teen manage the physical and mental manifestations of anxiety (including panic attacks), and get some insight into whether your teen’s anxiety responses seem to be at a normal and productive level or may be shifting into a more disordered, non-productive cycle. This presentation can also be accessed under the Parenting Connection Corner section at https://pflasa.org/wellness/.
Join us at the next PFLASA meeting, Friday, September 5th, at 8:15am, in the portable building next to the tennis courts.
PFLASA has a new president. Anna Land had to step down as president due to health issues. She will continue to work with PFLASA on the No Hassle Fundraiser and other initiatives, and we are grateful for her continued support and work. Sarah Romo de Vivar will be serving a 1-year interim presidency in Anna’s place. As the former president of PTSA; past chair of several PFLASA events; and long-time, frequent PFLASA volunteer; Sarah brings to the table a great deal of leadership experience and familiarity with PFLASA functions and events. We are grateful to her for being willing to serve in another demanding leadership role after serving in one last year. I am looking forward to working with both of these amazing women in the year ahead!

Dear Raptor Moms,
You are all cordially invited to join us for the 3rd Annual Gift Card Gala on Saturday Sept. 27th, benefiting the Class of 2026 Project Graduation fundraising efforts. This event is a traditional PFLASA Great Gathering (more on that later) and as with many things at LASA, this is a pay-it-forward act—and open to moms of ALL Classes!
In order to “enter” this Gala, we are kindly asking you to bring an unused gift card (suggested value of $25 or more) as your “ticket fee”.
We will take all of these gift cards and add them to the Class of 2026 Online Auction in November.
Have unused Gift Cards laying around your house? You can donate those too! If you are going out to buy a new gift card for this event, please consider a restaurant, a store or somewhere popular that you know will sell in the auction.
Please help us feed our teachers at Back To School Night (BTSN).
BTSN is August 26th and a SignUpGenius link will be coming soon and will be posted on the PFLASA website.
Thanks for always helping us show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them!
It’s time to join the LASA PTSA for the 2025-2026 membership year! All welcome to join (parents, students, grandparents, community members, really everyone)!
Last year was amazing! We…
And SO MUCH MORE
We’d love to have you join us (again) this year. You can join and donate here: https://www.lasaptsa.org/
Who: Current Parents and Students of LASA High School
What: PFLASA Study Groups
When: We are slated to start on Tuesday, September 2nd. Tutors will be available to work in small groups or individually with students from 4:15 pm to 6:15 pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays
The general schedule for subjects offered is below:
Where: LASA Library; look for the signage as you enter through the library.
Why: These started a number of years ago to give students another place to ask questions and receive support in specific subjects. Think of it as small group private tutoring—free to the student! We have seen this service help students make great academic strides when they attend regularly.
LASA is working with SchoolPool, a carpool matching program. This is a program which can help you find others in your area and set up carpools to and from bus hubs and/or LASA. It can also be helpful to coordinate for afterschool activities, or LASA sporting event.
