Each August, Principal Crescenzi takes incoming teachers and staff on a bus tour of the AISD boundary, stopping for breakfast in South Austin and lunch in North Austin, both hosted in LASA family homes. The tour gives a first-hand look at the communities our students come from.

This year’s event was a great success! Parents shared their perspectives during a breakfast panel, and students joined for lunch to meet their new teachers, share their experiences, and answer questions. The teachers and staff members were excited, engaged, and eager to join the LASA community.

Thank you to the families who hosted, the parents who gave their time, and the students who showed up to welcome our newest teachers!

We voted in a VP at our meeting on May 8th, which means we now have a full slate for our PFLASA Executive Board.

PFLASA wouldn’t be able to do what it does without the dedication of the volunteers who make up the Board, our Parent Reps and Event Chairs–it seriously takes many people to make it work! Thank you to ALL our wonderful volunteers that help us pull it all off.

Please give another warm welcome and an extra clap on the back to our newest VP!

President — Angela Graveline
Vice President — Melissa Sarkar
Treasurer — Anna Land
Co-Treasurer — Siobhán Whiteside
Secretary — Amy Casto
Assistant Secretary — Cheryl Starcher
Grants — Marianne Reat
Grants Co-Chair — Stephanie McFarland

Please stop by Central Market North Lamar on Thursday, May 21 for our last “Informal Parent Coffee” of the school year. We are starting from 8:00 AM on. Grab a beverage and head to the covered porch or outside deck. Open to ALL (new and experienced LASA parents). No sign-ups or risk of being volun-told to do something…. simply a chance to gather, mingle, and breathe a sigh of relief that the school year is coming to an end!

We ask you to RSVP so we have an idea of how many tables and chairs to pull together.

Hope to see you there!

Please join us for our next PFLASA meeting, we’d love to see you. (This is our second to last meeting for this school year)

Date: Friday, May 8th
Time: 8:15 AM

We’ll share what’s going on with PFLASA, more volunteer opportunities, committee updates and as always, coffee and tea.

We look forward to seeing you this Friday!
