Hello class of 2027, 2028 & 2029 parents ,
We’re looking for a few more volunteers to help us run this year’s Senior Salute smoothly.

What is Senior Salute you ask:
It’s LASA’s capstone celebration of everything that makes LASA the unique place we love . . . and an opportunity to congratulate our seniors with extra flair! The event will be held at The Long Center on Sunday May 3, 2026 from ~1-7pm.
Please consider volunteering if you can and thanks for paying it forward.

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

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:
