School Supply Kits for the 2022-23 school year are no longer available for order.

You can DIY your own kit if you missed the chance to order using this list of recommended supplies.

I wanted to take a moment to thank my incredible PTA Board and all of the wonderful PTA chairs and volunteers who made this year possible. It has been my absolute pleasure to serve as PTA president alongside such a talented and dedicated group. And to all of the LAES families, thank you for bearing with us as we had to deal with and adapt to all of the changes that COVID brought these past few years. It has been a challenge, but I think the PTA and school came out stronger for it. I hope that everyone has a wonderful summer, and I look forward to seeing all of your friendly faces around town soon.

Many thanks,
Regan Morgan
Louise Archer PTA President

Tomorrow is the Big Day! The Sixth Grade Celebration at 7pm at the American Legion (330 Center Street). Please visit our Event Night Information webpage providing logistics about the event. View the map showing where to drop off your students for the event. You cannot park and walk them in. Reminder all parents are invited to the slide show at 9pm. Do not come early we will not let you into the pavilion or the grassy area. See everyone tomorrow.

The LAES PTA funds a portion of the Sixth Grade Celebration, but it is not enough to cover all associated expenses. This means the support of our sponsors is critical to the success of the event. We are so grateful for these sponsors and their support for the students of LAES as they graduate and head to middle school!

Please take a moment to check out all our wonderful sponsors.

Friday is the day the kids have been waiting for their Sixth Grade Celebration. The celebration will be held this Friday, June 3rd from 7-9pm at the American Legion located at 330 Center Street. This is a student only event and parents are invited to come at 9pm (weather permitting) to view the slideshow outside by the pavilion. Be on the lookout for a detailed email this week with lots of details about drop off and pick up and where to and not to park at the American Legion.

We still need lots of help from parents, especially with set up & decorating before the event and clean up after!!! All the SignUpGenius links can be found on the Sixth Grade Celebration webpage.
