July 1, 2023

Greetings Lyons Mill Family,

We are in the planning stages for the 2023-2024 school year!   

Look for more updates from the PTA soon, but mark your calendars now, we will meet monthly beginning in September, on the 2nd Tuesday of each month (6:30-7:30).  We are planning both in person and virtual meeting options, more to come as we get closer!

PTA will only be successful with the active support of our families, parents, grandparents, guardians, faculty, staff and community...Registration will open soon!  

We will share our 2023-2024 focus areas soon!  Last year our focus areas were as follows:

1) Active Membership:  there are plenty of ways to become involved and/or lend your talents

2) Teacher/staff support + engagement 

3) Student Support & Advocacy as we transition 'back to normal' 

4) Creating a LMES Community via Family engagement +  Community Involvement

If there are any questions, suggestions or concerns please feel free to contact us at lyonsmillpta@gmail.com. 

Looking forward to meeting you all soon,
