Raising Healthy Raptors Presents – “Parenting Through Imperfection: The Good Enough Parent”
When: Tues, Feb 24th, 7pm, Virtual (RSVP for link)
Let’s face it, the reality is that parents are imperfect humans dealing with our own issues while also navigating our parental responsibilities. We are given the message to put our oxygen mask on first, while constantly fielding both internal and external expectations to sacrifice for our children.
Raising Healthy Raptors is proud to host Valerie Milburn, co-host of the award winning podcast Mental Health: Hope and Recovery and former LBJ teacher, to share her personal journey though imperfect parenting. Please join us for this virtual presentation followed by a Q&A/discussion session by sending an RSVP to wellness@pflasa.com for the link and/or be on lookout in Sunday’s Principal’s message and on the PFLASA FB page.

College Application: How to Level Up Every Piece of the Puzzle
Wednesday, February 25, 2026
7-8pm
In her 15 years as a college counselor at LASA, Jamie Kocian learned almost everything there is to know about the college admissions process for high-achieving students. In her 24+ years in the college admissions/college counseling field, she now has decided opinions on leveling up (in a genuine way) nearly every piece of the application puzzle and helping students discover more about themselves in the process.
Jamie will touch on all manner of topics, including the college list, standardized testing, essays, recommendation letters, interviews, and scholarships. Join us for some stories (some interesting, some just stories), a little chat on “Where did all the hobbies go?”, and reflections on lessons learned, feeling confident, and cutting through all the noise.
