Did you know that it’s a proven fact that if you are involved in some capacity in your child’s school that most of those children excel in their schoolwork? Well 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.

Help Needed

Volunteers Sought

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!

Latham Ridge Yearbook Committee seeking pictures of current and past events

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.
