This past Saturday, May 16, the 2025–2026 Reflections Program recognized outstanding LASA students for their achievements!
Texas PTA proudly celebrated the incredible creativity of students across the state! This year, more than 870 student entries advanced for state-level judging, showcasing remarkable talent, imagination, and artistic expression inspired by this year’s theme. Three amazing LASA Students were recognized by the Texas PTA this Saturday with one LASA student making it to the National PTA Competition.
These incredible student artists are:
Ananth Pakanati for Literature
Sadie Sarrat for Dance Choreography
Zixuan (Camille) Mei for Visual Arts
Camille achieved the “Overall Award of Excellence,” on to the National PTA Reflections level.
Next year’s Reflections theme
Congratulations, LASA artists!
Next year’s Reflections Theme
Note to all students who aren’t graduating 2026, next year’s Reflections theme is “What My Culture Means to Me.” You have all summer to work on artwork due next fall!
Date: Friday, May 22
Time: 8:15 AM
Location: Portable by the tennis courts
PTSA will hold their meeting starting at 8:15a and when they adjourn, we’ll start the PFLASA one.
We’ll share our final updates for the year, present the budget for 26-27, volunteer opportunities over the summer, committee updates and as always, coffee and tea.
We look forward to seeing you this Friday!
Student & parent volunteers: we need you Saturday, May 23rd from 12:45p to 3:45pm (this is a correction from last Sunday’s principal message). We’ll set up for and clean up after a Johnston High School ex-students Memorial Day gathering. It’s a lovely way to give back to the community and honor students who went to classes in the school building we now call home, and later died as a result of their service to the United States. (AND for students to earn sponsored volunteer hours.)

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.

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:

Save the date! Student and parent volunteers needed Saturday, May 23rd. We’ll be putting out tents, chairs, and coolers with cold water for Johnston High School alumni gathering to honor classmates who’ve died in service to our country. Keep an eye on the PFLASA Facebook page for the signup link.
Looking for a place to channel your anger/worry over the AISD budget crisis into action? Consider becoming a PTSA Executive Board member. The commitment can be as little as an hour a week and you’ll help us prepare our students, parents, & teachers for the upcoming legislative session and spread good will among our neighbors. Any PTSA member is eligible – including students! Reach out to Elva at president@lasaptsa.org to chat about what role might be a good fit for you!
Everyone is invited to the final joint PTSA/PFLASA meeting of the year: May 22nd at 8:15 in the portable. We’ll be electing officers, approving next year’s budget, and celebrating the end of the year…with door prizes!
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!
