The LWE PTO is a volunteer organization of parents and teachers who are hands-on in creating a supportive and engaging environment for our students and families. Our mission is to support learning opportunities both in and out of the classroom. We bring the school community together with a wide variety of programs and events, and none of this would be possible without your generous support and willingness to volunteer.

What the Team Does

Our PTO Board meets monthly to shape the LWE experience! We tackle a wide range of topics, from fundraising and student engagement to teacher support and campus enhancements.

During these meetings, we review budgets, plan events, and discuss upcoming activities, with some decisions coming to a vote. This collaborative process ensures every area of our school community is thriving.
