Volunteer!
Volunteering with LSA is a meaningful way to invest in the education and well-being of your children, build community, and contribute to positive changes within the school and community.
Why should I volunteer??
Supporting Education: LSA fundraises and advocates for resources that benefit students directly, such as classroom supplies, extracurricular activities, and educational programs. By volunteering, you contribute to enhancing the educational experience of all students.
Building Community: LSA brings together parents/guardians, teachers, school staff, and community members. Volunteering allows you to connect with others who share a common interest in supporting children's education and well-being, fostering a sense of community and collaboration.
Parental Involvement: Research shows that family involvement positively impacts students' academic success and overall well-being. Volunteering with LSA allows parents/guardians to be actively involved in their children's school life, which can lead to improved communication between parents/guardians and teachers and better support for students.
Skill Development: Volunteering with LSA provides opportunities to develop and strengthen various skills, such as leadership, organization, communication, and teamwork. These skills are valuable not only within the school community but also in other aspects of life and work.
Making a Difference: By volunteering, you have a direct impact on the quality of education and the school environment. Whether it's organizing events, fundraising, or participating in decision-making processes, your efforts contribute to creating a positive and supportive atmosphere for students, teachers, and families.
