The Latham Ridge PTA is having their annual flower sale with the help of Krug Farms of Albany. What better way to get your annual flowers and gorgeous hanging baskets for home and Mother's Day and all for a great cause and at a great price! Please see attached order form. We look forward to your support for this year’s sale. Learn more.

Studies show that children perform better in school if their parents are involved in some capacity. We have the perfect way for you to become involved. Join the Latham Ridge PTA and take part in the many functions available to your students and family. We are always looking for new ideas and new people to enhance our PTA. If you are interested in joining, please review the membership form. Our PTA officers are more than happy to answer any questions that you may have so please do not hesitate to contact any one of us for information.

For information on PTA activities and events see the monthly newsletter, district calendar and PTA Directory. All meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. unless otherwise noted.

The PTA is in great need of parent volunteers. It is becoming increasingly difficult to hold events with the same, small number of volunteers. It would be unfortunate to have to cancel events, but this may happen if more people do not volunteer. If you are interested in assisting at events, please do not hesitate. If every family volunteered to help at just one event each year, the load would lighten for the handful of parents/families that do much of the volunteering currently. The PTA extends its best wishes to all Latham Ridge families for a healthy, happy holiday season!

The Latham Ridge Yearbook Committee is in need of pictures of current and past events. If anyone has pictures that they could forward to the school, it would be greatly appreciated. Please forward any pictures you may have to the attention of Mrs. Paige Rossi. Thank you.
