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.
