Knights in Service Deadline

Please ask your students to log any volunteer service hours performed up until now into the Knights in Service tracker.  All hours entered by Sunday, January 15th, will be included in the nine-weeks report.

 

The tracker can be found HERE.  For anyone having trouble logging hours, please take a look at this brand new instruction guide.   Before logging hours, please review the program guidelines to know what will be accepted.

 

Need suggestions on where to volunteer?  Check this page for ideas.  If you have any questions or problems, email Elena at knightsinservice@ltmspto.org.  Thank you!

 

Looking for a fun way to get involved with the PTO?

Then consider serving on the Nominations Committee.  We need a committee of three members to help recruit people to serve as 2012 - 2013 PTO officers and chairpersons. It's pretty easy and a great way to learn more about how the PTO supports LTMS.  You also get to know some great people. Contact Babita Deitrich at president@ltmspto.org if you are interested. Thanks! 

 

Attention all students and parents:

Don't miss the LTMS school wide Talent Show on January 20.  Tickets are on sale now at the front office.  The presale ticket price is $5.00 each, and it will be $8.00 at the door.  Our guest master of ceremonies will be Austin juggling magician Zach Waggoner!  Don't miss this spectacular show.  You are encouraged to buy your tickets ahead of time, as the show will most likely sell out.  For more information, call 512-533-6161.

 


Thank You!

The 2nd Annual Principal Cookout was a wonderful success!  Thank you again for making it all come together by donating the food, drinks and delicious sweet treats!

 

We really appreciate the continued support that help us to bring a great meal together for our teachers and staff at LTMS!!!!
