Parent Sponsored Organizations

The Parent Teacher committee (PTC) - a self-governing organization of parent volunteers- has been established this year 2008-2009. Every parent at LPS is considered a member of the PTC The main goal of PTC is encouraging a close relationship between home and the school.  Parents are highly encouraged to come during all LPS events and become active volunteers within the school. .

• The purpose of the LPS Parents’ Committee (PTC) is to enhance communication, understanding, and support among the administration, faculty, parents, and student body. 
• The Committee strives to improve the quality of campus life through programs, activities and fund-raising events that encourage participation and unity within the school community.
