by Newsletter Comment Closed

Student & parent volunteers: we need you Saturday, May 23rd from 12:45p to 3:45pm (this is a correction from last Sunday’s principal message). We’ll set up for and clean up after a Johnston High School ex-students Memorial Day gathering. It’s a lovely way to give back to the community and honor students who went to classes in the school building we now call home, and later died as a result of their service to the United States. (AND for students to earn sponsored volunteer hours.)

Do you own a truck or SUV? We need help with Donation for Teachers!

by Newsletter Comment Closed

PFLASA needs you to treat LASA teachers to fabulous glass (white) boards. A local company is donating approximately 20 glass boards to LASA that they are no longer using. These boards are easier to clean, do not “ghost” or wear down. A quick poll by Principal Crescenzi confirmed that these are wanted. The company is donating them, the district will (eventually) install them, and LASA can store them. 

What we need is for parents with trucks and SUV’s to transport them (including padding them for transport) from Northwest Austin to LASA on Wednesday, June 3rd from 12-3. The boards are 8 x 4 feet and less than 1/2 an inch thick. Our best guess is that they weigh approximately 100 lbs. Please sign up if you can help:
