With the start of school just weeks away, school-related groups are revving up. That includes PTAs and PTSAs, and other support groups. We have long featured school-related fundraisers, and one PTA – for Lafayette Elementary – has already sent its fall plan:

Lafayette PTA is excited to welcome students back to school on September 1st! We have many opportunities for you to support the Lafayette Elementary School students, staff, and families. Our goal this year is to rebuild our community and provide extra support to help students who have fallen behind academically. Questions? Please email lafayette.fundraising@gmail.com.
