A GUIDE
TO LOWELL PTA
Welcome to the Lowell PTA website. Feel free to browse around
and
familiarize
yourself with all of the things our PTA does for our staff, parents and
most of
all our students.
How are funds raised and spent at Lowell? How much is raised
and
how much is
spent? If you are interested please
read on.
The two major fundraisers for Lowell school are the wrapping paper
(offered in the fall) and the silent auction and raffle at
Jamboree. Part of the money you spend on these fundraisers
(50%
for wrapping paper and 100% for silent auction and raffle, minus
operating expenses) go directly to our PTA
funds. The two fundraisers on average provide our PTA with
approximately $18,000 a year. General Mills labels and Cooks' Night Out also
provide some funds for our PTA (for specifics see our budget on the
bulletin board in the hallway).

The
Lowell PTA Cultural Arts
provides approximately 4 assemblies a year for our children such as:
- The
Legend of ISAT
- Child’s Play
- Wheel
of Wisdom
- The
Science Guy
- The
Poetry Guy
- Dr. King An Educated Man
We
sponsor an author each
year
and this year we funded the family reading night. In
addition the Lowell PTA provides the CAPP Program offered
through the YMCA to help keep our children safe and a Handicap
Awareness
program for some of our children. The
Lowell PTA also sponsors band, orchestra, bell choir, patrols, chess
club,
student government, and the summer reading and writing clubs.
The
Lowell PTA helps to sponsor Picture Day, Yearbook,
and Spirit Wear. As
parents you pay cost for all
of the items. These are not
fundraisers
for our PTA; they are services that our PTA helps enable us to offer.
The
Lowell PTA meetings are where all of these
decisions are made. We know that we cannot
accommodate
everybody’s schedule, but if from time to time you can take
an hour a
month to
attend a meeting, the more PTA members present the more we can truly
represent
the majority of our PTA. If you cannot
attend our meetings but have some ideas or thoughts as to how to
enhance our
PTA please contact any one of the PTA Committee members.
We also have an electronic Suggestion Box so you can send comments anonymously, if you wish.
