Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year and to the Levy Lakeside PTA website.  Many exciting activities and events are planned for the upcoming year. The Norman J. Levy Lakeside School PTA is an integral part of our school community. We work closely with parents, teachers, administrators, and the community to achieve the best educational opportunities for our children; quality education in Merrick is a cooperative effort.

Levy Lakeside PTA offers many programs. Among other things, we support school trips, in-school residencies, cultural arts events and the theatre group.  We offer our teachers the opportunity to apply for Mini-Grants which allow them to incorporate a special project into a unit they may be teaching.  Our newly updated Parent Library, located in the main office, provides resource materials for loan.  This is all possible as a result of our fundraising activities;  all proceeds benefit our children.

The PTA is also a valuable service organization. With the help of our dedicated parent volunteers, we run a successful lunch program. In September, our Safety and Security Committee Volunteer Chaperones cheerfully accompany our kindergarteners and first graders to their classes during the first two weeks of school and help all bussers and walkers at dismissal time.  Our volunteers help with school art shows, music concerts and theatre productions.  The list goes on…

Please consider becoming an active and integral part of our organization.  We would love to see you at our monthly meetings. Check the school calendar for dates and time.  We encourage you to join and support PTA. Your input and suggestions are welcomed. Your involvement will make a difference.

Supporting our Troops

This is a really great community service provided by XEROX. If you go to this website--  www.letssaythanks.com --you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and send it to a soldier currently serving in Iraq. You cannot choose who gets it.

It would be AMAZING if we get everyone we know to send one!!!

This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second.

 

Lunch Program
We need volunteers to help serve lunch!
