This week the principal from CS Porter Middle School, Ty Solberg, will be joining our PTA meeting to talk about the transition to middle school and to answer any questions you may have. Fifth grade parents are encouraged to attend this meeting!
At our last meeting we elected a new PTA Board that will take office this summer- but we still need more parents to join the PTA! We have a number of important committees that will be working this summer including our Hip Holiday Market committee. Please join us to find out ways to get involved at Lowell.
