August, 2022
Hello Parents!
We achieved a great milestone getting through the first couple weeks of school, so a big congratulations to everyone is in order. The 2022 Knight Games and Roundup events were a huge success thanks in part to the awesome staff led by our new Principal, Rebecca Hudson, and our terrific PTO volunteers. Walking through the halls a few weeks ago was so great as we connected new families and reconnected with the returning families. Seeing students interacting with each other about their classes, lockers, and lunchtimes was especially welcomed.
As a reminder, Mrs. Hudson's Knight News (S'mores newsletter) are full of valuable information, so be sure to SUBSCRIBE to the newsletter to stay up-to-date. Curriculum Night is scheduled for Thursday, September 1st from 5:30-7:20pm. If you have any questions, please reach out to the school. Our PTO is excited to see you all there, so look for our table.
The PTO will be hosting a Meet and Greet event on the morning of Friday, September 9th at the Hill Country Galleria Plaza (next to the great lawn in front of The League). For complete details, see the Meet and Greet details below.
On behalf of the PTO, I would like to convey our sincerest appreciation to those who have expressed interest in volunteering with our PTO. We will be in touch soon and we can hardly wait to get started. We have a few committee openings available, and we would be incredibly excited to have you join this team of awesome parents that help make the year a success. We can use your help planing and hosting student events, fulfilling valuable campus requests, and organizing teacher appreciation days.
As part of the “No Hassle Fundraiser”, your donations combined with the sales from the LTMS Spirit Store have helped us get closer to reaching. our PTO fundraising goal of $8,000. With your continued support, the funds raised will help cover the cost of activities that we have planned for the entire school year. We've almost reached our goal, so if you have not yet made a donation as part of the “No Hassle Fundraiser”, or if you would like to purchase some of the great-looking apparel from our Spirit Store, it is not too late. The pre-sale on hoodies is open until this Wednesday August 31st, so place your order NOW. Note: Hoodies orders will be ready for pickup in October.
If you would like to receive our monthly newsletter, have access to volunteer sign-ups, access Membership Toolkit (MTK) notifications through the app, and participate in surveys and polls, we encourage you to join our PTO communications platform by creating Membership Toolkit (MTK) account. If you have any questions about PTO membership or with the MTK tool, please reach out to our Membership Coordinator, Erika Franklin.
In closing, we would like for you to join us for our first General Board meeting scheduled for Thursday, September 22, 2022 at 9:00am. We encourage you to bring your ID to school office so that you can get registered into the Raptor system before entering the school. The guests at this month's meeting are LTMS Principal Rebecca Hudson, the LTMS PTO Board, and Lake Travis ISD Superintendent Paul Norton who will be joining us to speak about the upcoming election which includes voting on the LTISD bond measure.
Thank you for your support and best wishes for a great year!
Freda Collier
LTMS PTO President
