During this time of year, we start getting ready to think about what next year will hold. With more regular programming returning, we need your help more than ever! We have several active board members who will be leaving LE this year and we hope YOU will come join us!!

Most other PTO boards in Newton have 20+ active board members. With so many people, they are able to truly divide up the work and have it be manageable, even with a full-time job. It’s my hope that we can get more people involved in small roles and provide our students with the same experiences as other PTOs in Newton.

I always say – you commit to as much as you are able. There’s no mandatory meetings or previous knowledge needed. Just a passion to make the time our students spend at LE the best it can be.

Roles can be anything from helping to organize the Fall Festival to picking out enrichment programs for our kids thru CAS (Creative Arts & Sciences). We really need your help to keep the PTO running!!  Without the PTO and volunteers like yourself, we wouldn’t be able to hold family events like the Book Fair or Back to School Picnic, provide mini grants and stipends to our teachers, or partner with The Discovery Museum to bring in special programming for our kids.

The best way to jump in is to grab a friend! Attend a meeting! Connect with someone on the board and ask questions! Email me at secretary@lepto.org!
