School starts in just a few short weeks, which means the PTA is hard at work planning a fantastic year for your kids! We can’t do it without your support, whether through volunteering (we’d love your help) or just by name (every PTA member is a voice for our children). Join the PTA today: http://www.joinpta.org
Do you ever wonder how the PTA money that is raised is actually put into action? Funding Teacher Grants is just one of the many important line items in our budget. Each grant cycle (Fall, Winter, Spring) we award approximately $2,000 in grant money. Teachers and staff submit grant applications with a maximum request of $500, and the PTA Executive Board reviews the applications with a goal of funding as many projects as possible within the allotted budget. This cycle, we were able to award $2,034 in grant money! Congratulations to our Spring Grant Recipients!

Francisco Cepeda, Counselor – Beautify the SLE Garden
Amy Hisel, Second Grade – Magnets: A Sticky Situation

Each year, SLE PTA focuses our Fundraising efforts to fund the approved budget for the school year by November 1st. We are pleased to announce that our results with the 2nd Annual Boosterthon Fun Run and the Fall Ball: Dia de Fiesta, have achieved that important milestone!
Throughout the year you will see Spirit Night events that will help us support our community and raise additional funds that will allow us to support our students and teachers outside of what is planned in our line item budget.
We sincerely appreciate your support in making Silver Lake THE Place to Be!
Congratulations to our Shooting Star, Jack Lovin, for receiving an Honorable Mention award at the PTA State Reflections Competition for his music composition piece! We are so proud of you!
