Way to go!

We had a wonderful response to our Great American Fall Fundraiser! Our Lake Joy Families sold over $30,000.00, and our school receives 50%. Thank you so much for your participation!! If your child is a "Fundraiser VIP", meaning he or she sold at least 30 items, you will be notified soon about the Limo Lunch out. All those gifts and goodies we ordered will be here in about 2 weeks, so watch your child's agenda for the pick up date. Thank you again for a great start to our school year!!!

Fired up!


Our Lions went wild when they heard about all the awesome prizes they can win in our Catalogue Fundraiser! In case you haven't heard...everyone who sells at least 30 items will earn VIP status. They will be treated to a LIMO ride out to lunch for pizza and games at Stevie B's! Remember, Lake Joy earns 50% of everything sold! Last day to turn in order forms and payment is Friday, August 29th. If your child needs additional order forms or catalogues, just let us know...we've got plenty!!

Off and running!

We hope everyone has had a wonderful first few days at Lake Joy Elementary! The PTO has a full year planned and some pretty high goals to achieve...and we need your help!

Have you filled out and returned your yellow Volunteer Interest Assessment Form? This is the very first line of communication between you and the PTO Board. We want to get to know you as soon as possible...and find out the volunteer areas you are most interested in. If you are ready for a leadership position this year...just write us a little note to let us know that you are willing to serve as chairperson of one of our committees. You can send the forms back to your teacher or turn them in to the front office.

If you have NOT had a background check or volunteer training in the last 5 years...you will need to turn in the background form and attend volunteer training at LJE Tuesday, August 12th. Training times are 9:00 am or 5:30 pm.

Our first fundraiser for the year kicks off next Friday...keep an eye out for your Catalogue Packet from Great American August 15th!! Want a sneak peek? Click here.
