LOOK FOR THE BRIDGE BUILDERS!

by Newsletter Comment Closed

LASA is facing a serious budget crisis, and this year, more than ever, we need our community to stand together to help BRIDGE THE GAP. This Friday, September 18, keep an eye out in the drop-off line for our PFLASA “Bridge Builders” — you won’t miss them! They’ll be sporting lime green construction hats to raise awareness of the support LASA students and teachers need. Please show your LASA support by cheering them on when you see them.

Want to help build the bridge? Feel free to bring a check on Friday and hand it directly to one of our volunteers in the drop-off line. Every gift—at every level—helps us get closer to the other side.

LASA is an extraordinary school because of the people who stand behind it. Parents, families, friends, alumni, and our entire community—we need you. Grab your hard hat (figuratively!), join your fellow Raptors, and help us BRIDGE THE GAP! Together, we can build the bridge LASA needs!

What does it really take to stand out in today’s college admissions landscape? In this interactive webinar, Marcus DeWitt will walk students and parents through how colleges evaluate applicants and the key pieces of a successful admissions strategy.

Families will learn how academics, extracurricular activities, intellectual interests, testing, essays, and overall positioning come together in an application. The session will also provide a practical roadmap for making intentional decisions throughout high school while staying authentic to each student’s individual interests and goals.

UT and TAMU Admissions Playbook
September 23, 2026
7pm

The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University remain two of the most popular, and competitive, college destinations for Texas students. But applying successfully requires much more than strong grades and test scores.

In this one-hour webinar we’ll explore automatic admission versus holistic review, the importance of class rank and academic rigor, how intended major can impact an admissions strategy, and what students should consider when selecting competitive programs such as engineering, business, computer science, and pre-health pathways. We’ll also discuss application strategy, essays and short answers, extracurricular activities, and common mistakes families should avoid.
