PTSA LASA Advocacy: Student Advocacy Group Meetings

LASA PTSA Advocacy invites your student to join the Student Advocacy Group.

This school year, we want to expand our student advocacy curriculum beyond preparing our students for the legislative session. Two areas that we want to explore are (1) what entities exist that directly impact education, and (2) how our students can engage with these entities.

We will meet at the library from 12:05 to 12:55 p.m.

Our esteemed speakers include:

  • Friday, 11/7: Lynn Boswell, Member of Texas Association of School Boards and Trustee for AISD Board of Trustees
  • Friday, 12/5: LaRessa Quintana, Trustee for AISD Board of Trustees (District 2)
  • Friday, 1/23: Edna Ramon Butts, J.D. and Director of Intergovernmental Relations & Policy Oversight for AISD; and
  • Friday, 2/20: Mario Pina, Senior Advocacy Director of Raise Your Hand Texas

LASA PTSA – Memorial Day Event

First, thank you to all the fantastic student volunteers that helped make the Memorial Day Event happen! You all did a wonderful job.

Each year LASA PTSA helps the Johnston Ex-Student Association with their Memorial Day Event. We set up tents, chairs and rent a sound system; this is only made possible by our dedicated volunteers.

I wanted to send a special thank you to Craig and Emily Robson, volunteers extraordinaire and our incoming PTSA President, Elva Mendoza, they spent a very hot Saturday getting everything set up and ready to go. Thank you!

Please consider penciling in helping PTSA with this event next year. It’s very rewarding.

Sarah Romo de Vivar
PTSA President (24-25)

Congrats and Thank You to the Class of 2028 (and 2027)!

The Class of 2028 is this year’s winner of our PTSA membership contest! Thank you so much for all your memberships and for participating in the largest advocacy organization in the United States for children.

Hey Class of 2027! You were close and you were the winners last year, so we’re including you in the celebration too! We know we didn’t get to celebrate you last year so we’re going to this year.

The LASA PTSA will be providing a light Continental Breakfast Grab and Go on the first day of finals! Come see us at the bus loop on Friday, May 23rd before school. This is open to the Classes of 2028 and 2027. We’ll be there at 7:00am until we run out of food or when school begins, whichever comes first.

Good luck with finals and thanks everyone for your membership. If you haven’t joined yet, it’s not too late! We also are still taking donated memberships for faculty members!
