How do I join the PTA?
New PTA Communication


Beginning this month, the PTA is gearing up for a new weekly email segment to keep you informed. Each Monday, be on the lookout for a new update from our team that will include information on events, advocacy issues and more. Below, please find a schedule of the new email plan. We hope that you enjoy this new format and that we can continue to bring you important information to keep our school community informed!

First newsletter of the month - Events update – This email will include a list of upcoming events for the month with more information about each event in the body of the newsletter.

Second newsletter of the month- Advocacy update- Straight from our Advocacy chair, keep updated on the issues that impact our students and our school. This will include important information about education issues and North Carolina PTA legislative goals.

Third newsletter of the month - Health and Wellness update- From our Health and Wellness Committee, this email will contain helpful hints, suggestions, and events that can keep you and your family healthy and happy this school year!

Fourth newsletter of the month – “Did you Know” update- This email will keep you updated on what the PTA has been up to and how your PTA dollars are working for our school! 
​
*The PTA will continue to send email reminders close to event dates. 

Please remember that MemberHub is now the main communication tool for the PTA. If you know of someone not receiving these emails, please encourage them to join! It is easy and free to join!  https://laurelpark.memberhub.com/join/zi2eku

Trunk or Treat

Saturday, October 27, 2018
LPES Grounds
​2 pm - 4 pm
More Info
​Sign Up To Volunteer
Trunk or Treat promotes a fun, safe environment for children and families to trick or treat.  Kids can dress up in costume and trick or treat from trunk to trunk in the Laurel Park Elementary School parking lot.  Parents, you provide the trunks and the treats for our trick or treaters by parking in the lot and handing out treats from your car trunk!  This year we are encouraging alternatives to candy and food so that we can include all students and promote healthy living.  Some “treat” ideas are pencils, erasers, stickers, tattoos, small toys, and glow sticks.  We will also have games, activities, and voting for the best class pumpkin!
