 The next PTA Meetings will be on 00/00/0000 at 00:00pm. This meeting is open to the public and held in the Lyseth Elementary Library. Please feel free to contact an PTA Board officer with questions about the Lyseth PTA and its activities.
PTA and its parent volunteers provide a tremendous benefit to the Lyseth Community. Much of the programming we support and other financial resources we provide would not be possible without the PTA and the generosity of Lyseth families.
One of the PTA's most important functions is to build community spirit. For our children, the Elementary School experience is more than just learning -- it is their community. The PTA offers a variety of events to help develop and sustain relationships within the Lyseth Community. The parent volunteers of the PTA plan, organize, staff and help to fund a variety of family events over the course of the year, including the Welcome Back Picnic, Teacher Appreciation Week, Talent Show, Ice Cream Social, Night at the Sea Dogs, and the School Fair to name a few.
The Lyseth PTA holds a number of fundraising events during the year. The fall fundraiser helps benefit your children by purchasing items such as; playground equipment, classroom supplies, and subsidizing many other special events/projects throughout the year.
In past years, PTA funds and volunteers have provided musical instruments for the music program, classroom computers, a new school sign, and cafeteria tables. Outside, you can enjoy the alcove area and outdoor amphitheater.
The PTA not only supports extracurricular community building activities, but it also plays a critical role in enhancing our children’s academic experience at Lyseth. The PTA sponsors Lyseth’s Enrichment Program, which provides our children with invaluable cultural experiences such as the annual author visit, in-school performances, and field trips to the symphony or theater.
All of these great activities could not have happened without the many PTA volunteers. Participating in the PTA is rewarding, fun, a great way to meet other parents, and an essential part of ensuring our children’s success. We hope you’ll join us!
Volunteer Program
Lyseth Elementary School provides many opportunities for parents to
become involved with their child’s education. Research has proven that
parental involvement in schools is key to a child’s academic success.
By volunteering at your school your child learns that his/her
education is valued by their parent/guardian and helps to boost
self-esteem...yours as well as your child's! We feel that it is important for parents to be
involved, to know what is going on at school, and to offer whatever
support they feel they are able to.
Volunteering at
Lyseth can fit your schedule, can be in an area of interest to you,
and can be mutually beneficial for both you and your child. In the fall
of each year, a volunteer sign-up sheet is sent home for parents to
fill out. It includes the opportunity to sign up for whatever it is
you are interested in doing. We try to match up teachers' needs with
parent volunteers. The Partnership Developer is available to address
your needs and concerns. Please feel free to call or stop by the office
at any time.
Lyseth Elementary School is very interested in developing more business
and community partnerships. Historically, some local businesses have
provided donations, discounts, and educational opportunities for our
students. If you have any information and connections which could enhance
this program, we would very much appreciate it if you would share this
with us. Please contact the Partnership Developer’s office at any time.
