2026 PFLASA Project Graduation Committee
As you may already know, Great Gatherings are a fun community builder but also a great way to help PFLASA raise funds for the graduating class’s Senior events.
These are a tradition at LASA and as with many things at LASA, this is a pay-it-forward act!
You can find our current offerings for all classes and buy your tickets in the PFLASA Store: https://pflasa.org/product-category/greatgatherings/.
If you’d like to host a happy hour or another type of event, find some friends to co-host, fill out this form and we’ll get the ball rolling: http://tinyurl.com/GGatherings.
Thank you for your support of the Class of 2026!

Spread the word! LASA Showcase will be on Thursday, November 13th from 6–8pm.
The event will be held at the LASA campus: 1012 Arthur Stiles Road, Austin, TX 78721.
Tell your friends and relatives, post to the social media group for your child’s middle school, and reach out to anyone you know with middle schoolers who might be interested. This is a fun and informative event for prospective students and parents, where they can come see fine arts performances, learn about classes, ask questions of current parents and students, get help with their application, and learn about sports, clubs, and other extracurricular activities.
Feel free to use or distribute either of the attached flyers: English | español
Mark your calendar: The next meeting for PFLASA (Parents and Friends of LASA) is coming up on Friday, October 17th, at 8:15am in the portable building by the tennis courts. Come hear about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and fun-er-tunities (aka social networking). Come meet other parents and ask questions. You might even get some answers! We’d love to see you there!
At our last meeting, we heard updates about upcoming Great Gatherings and Masterclasses, teacher grants, and recruiting efforts like helping out with Showcase and mentoring prospective students and parents through the application process. We also heard updates on the extensive planning that is happening for Senior events like Project Graduation, Senior Salute, and CoffeeHouse. There’s a lot going on at LASA!
Other ways to get connected:
If you haven’t already done so, here are some great ways that you can get “in the know” about what’s going on at LASA. The Grade Level Google Groups will become more important as college applications and graduation approaches, but they are also used to communicate about upcoming events and opportunities throughout all four years of high school.
You can find more detailed information about all of the various ways to stay in the loop here: https://lasa.austinschools.org/parents/stay-connected
