Letter from our PTA President
Dear Lead Mine Family,
Happy New Year and welcome back! It is hard to believe that half of the school year is over already! As we begin the new year, I have taken some time to reflect on the school year so far. Our families have made so many positive contributions to our community during the first half of the year and I wanted to share a few of those with you.
First, a HUGE thank you goes out to all of you who contributed to the Gobble Gobble program led by Ms. Carroll. With your generous donations, 20 complete Thanksgiving meals were provided to families in need!! Your support was so great that Ms. Carroll will be arranging to feed additional families around Valentine’s Day, sharing even more of our community’s LOVE. Any remaining Gobble Gobble funds will be used to enhance the current Backpack Buddies program to help students who face food insecurity over the several days off over Spring Break.
The Holiday Hugs program was also a great success – because of you! Thanks to your thoughtfulness and generosity, 75 children received gifts and holiday cheer. Thanks also to the committee and donors who supported our Holiday Shop! With your help, every single child at Lead Mine was able to enjoy the gift of giving to others.
Finally, we are TRULY grateful for all of your support of our Leopard Laps fundraiser in the Fall. Using funds raised, the PTA and school have made significant and needed technology purchases to support our students, including: 24 new Chromebooks; a laptop charging cart; and 6 flat screen televisions to help classrooms meet current WCPSS standards.
Without your generosity, none of these wonderful contributions would be possible! We are all so grateful for your continued support of the school and our students!
Thank you for all you do!
Courtney Britt
