PFLASA’s Great Gatherings’ store is live!

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!

PTSA Loves our Student Members

We really do! We believe in student membership so much that we offer discounted student membership rates when joining through our website.

Also, every year, LASA PTSA runs a contest to see which class will have the highest student membership. The race is on! Here’s the current student membership count:

  • Class of 2028 – 53 members
  • Class of 2029 – 47 members
  • Class of 2027 – 39 members
  • Class of 2026 – 32 members

It’s a close race! Spread the word and have your classmates join PTSA. Every membership counts. While you’re at it, have your parents join too!

What does “Paying it Forward” mean?

In PFLASA, we believe in supporting each other across all grade levels. This is why we use the Pay It Forward model:

  • Each year, the Freshmen, Sophomore, and Junior families work together to help fund that year’s graduating class Project Graduation event. (This is an all night lock-in party to keep our senior kids safe)
  • When it’s your student’s turn to graduate, the younger classes will do the same for you.

This approach makes our traditions possible and ensures every class has the support they need for a memorable senior year.

Think of it as a circle:

  • Freshmen, Sophomores & Juniors→ support today’s seniors.
  • Seniors (and families) → get to celebrate!

When you attend a Great Gathering or bid in our online Auction, you’re helping us make our safe and fun event for Seniors possible!

By participating now, you’re making sure that when it’s your child’s turn, the community is ready to celebrate them. That’s the power of Paying It Forward.

Come sign up to PFLASA’s FB and class Google groups during BYPTSD

PFLASA will be set up both during morning check-in by the front office (7:20-8:10) and during lunch in Mr Mueller’s room (506), on Thursday and Friday during Bring Your Parents to School Days.

If you’ve been having issues joining us, or if you know people who have had trouble, this will be your opportunity! Please join us. 🙂
