Food & Beverage
Dinner will not be served at the 6th Grade Celebration. There will be light refreshments. If there are allergies the 6th Grade Celebration Committee should be aware of, please send us an email.
Class Gift
It is a tradition for the 6th grade class to give a gift to the school. It’s a way to say thank you and show our appreciation to the teachers, the faculty, and the staff that have made such an impact on the students during their time at LAES. Working with LAES Administration, we have decided that this year we will raise funds which will be added to the PTA fund for teachers. This money will be used by teachers to decorate and supply their NEW classrooms when school starts in Fall 2023.
Making a donation for the Class Gift is completely optional, but if you are so inclined please consider making a $25 donation. You are welcome to give more or less, or nothing at all. You can donate to the class gift when you purchase your students ticket. The deadline to donate is Friday, May 26th.
Volunteers
The 6th Grade Celebration Committee will need parent volunteers the day of the event to help set-up, with decorations, supervision, clean-up and more. Please be on the lookout for more information closer to the event.
The 6th Grade Celebration Committee will communicate via this website, email, and flyers in Tuesday folders. If you have questions about the 6th Grade Celebration, please do not hesitate to email the 6th Grade Celebration Committee.
