Supporting Our LASA Families During the Shutdown

by Newsletter Comment Closed

Dear PFLASA Community

As many of you know, the ongoing government shutdown has placed unexpected strain on many in our community, including some of our very own LASA families.

To this end, I wanted to make sure you knew that you could donate gift cards directly to our Wellness Counselors to quietly share with families experiencing food insecurity at this time.
Gift cards to stores like H-E-B or Walmart in smaller denominations would be great (think $20 and $25 – this would allow the counselors to have more flexibility when distributing them).

There is absolutely no obligation to participate — this is simply an opportunity for those who feel called to lend a hand.

Gift cards can be dropped off at the front office, c/o Wellness Counselors.

Our goal is to distribute them discreetly and respectfully to families who could use a little extra support right now.

Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and care for our community.

AP Snack Donations Requested

by Newsletter Comment Closed

We welcome your snack donations for students taking AP tests. Why are we requesting snack donations? Great question! Many students go to tests back to back, without time for a break College Board is RIGID on test start times, so grabbing a bite to eat is no excuse for being late. By providing breakfast and snacks, we hope to provide a little something for a nervous belly or a little oomph to fuel a kiddo through those last hours of testing. We greatly appreciate your support.
