Have you seen me?
The sign reads "You've been flocked by Las Colinas Elementary!" This is a school fundraiser where we ask for a small donation to have these 'professionally' removed from your lawn. In return, you get to select where the flamingos land next. So keep an eye out, these little flamingos may migrate over to a yard near you!

Don't forget to take advantage of the Lands' End School Rewards Program where LCE can earn cashback rewards on school uniform purchases when you make a purchase using our School Code (900081472).

WHAT IS PTA?
PTA (Parent Teacher Association) is a national organization whose mission is “to make every child’s potential a reality by engaging and empowering families and communities to advocate for all children.” The PTA provides the setting for parents, teachers, Principal, staff and community members to come together to improve the lives of the students through programs and activities.
ABOUT US
Locally, at Las Colinas Elementary (LCE), the PTA provides support to the students, teachers, staff and families of LCE. Every year, the PTA sponsors several events that aim to serve our school community:
· Back to School Social/Meet the Teacher
· Daybreak with Dads
· Mornings with Moms
· Tears and Treats
· Reflections Art Program
· Scholastic Book Fair
· Penguin Patch Holiday Shoppe
· Teacher Appreciation Week
· Fall Carnival
· Class Parties (Winter/Valentine’s Day/End of Year)
· Teacher classroom needs and Room Parent Coordination
· Special grade-level events (Fairy Tale Ball, Rodeo Days, 5th Grade Camp, etc.)
· Red Ribbon Week
· PTA Evening Programs like the Winter Concert/Veteran’s Day/Art Show
· TAKS Tests Breakfasts for test-taking students
· Kindergarten Coffees
Understandably, these events require funding and volunteers. LCE PTA is a self-funding organization. This means that the money raised each school year through PTA memberships ($7 per adult) as well as the other fundraising activities are what make these events possible - along with our wonderful volunteers!
In addition to school events and programs, the PTA provides supplies and equipment to the school as needed. The PTA calls these “Gifts to School.” Over the past several years, PTA memberships combined with additional fundraising activities have provided such “Gifts to School” as:
· Blue shade structure (where K-1st sit for afternoon pick-up)
· Desk chairs for all the teachers
· Interactive white boards for the classrooms
· Book carts for the library and each grade level
· PE mats, balls and jump ropes
· Laminating machine
· Sound system for gym
· Benches – front of school and on playground
· Water fountain outside by gymnasium for kids to use at recess
· Repainted and styled all restrooms
