Thank you for making Staff Appreciation Week so successful for all of your teachers and support staff. We thank you also for attending the Lafayette General PTA meeting last week on 5/4/23. If you did not attend, we reviewed, voted, & approved the proposed budget for the 2023/2024 school year, received an update from the Rock of Ages Auction, and discussed open PTA Board Positions. Here are a few highlights to keep you in the loop. Hope to see you all at the next one!
