The LFTK8 PTSA needs your help! We are in desperate need of volunteers for Spring events. An hour and a half on Saturday, helping gather e-recycling and handing out receipts, will bring more funding to the school. Making balloon arches, organizing other volunteers, or filling ticket pre-orders will help the Bear Bash be a success. Using your community connections to gather items for the Silent Auction will help us meet our fundraising goals. Spending an hour with the Grant Committee will help teachers get much-needed supplies. We LOVE hosting events and being on campus, but with just a few regular volunteers, there is only so much we can do. Many hands make light work! Click here to join us in bringing fun and funding to our school!

Did you know the In-N-Out Truck will be on campus Wednesday, 1/21, from 5pm-6pm?!

Pre-order your meals by Wednesday, 1/14. Grab and go OR stick around for Bingo Night. 

All orders can be purchased via the QR code or this link.

Jog-a-Thon Rewards were passed out to MOST of our earners last week. We noticed it is difficult for Middle Schoolers to gather their prizes. We will email families directly with instructions for the makeup days. Emails will be sent to Prize Cube earners who were not in attendance at the movie night and Tuesday/Thursday preschoolers who need to do the prize wheel. Thank you to Mrs. Swift and Mrs. Sherman for your time and efforts on Friday!

THANK YOU to Mr. Quandt for saving Movie Night with your WiFi Hot Spot! We appreciate you.

Bingo Night is BACK! And this time we have burgers! Wednesday, January 21st, come for In-n-Out and stay for Bingo. Meals are available for presale ONLY. Please order ASAP. The more In-n-Out orders we have, the longer the truck will stay. Bingo cards can be purchased ahead of the event or on-site. All orders can be purchased via the QR code or this link.
