SUBJECT: Lotts To Tell You! 5/23/24

A Note From Our President

It has been such an honor to serve as your PTA and now PTO President the past 2 years. Serving the school, working along side the teachers, staff, and students has been such a privilege. 


I want to thank our board members, committee chairs and room parents and volunteers who stepped up and gave their time for our school. We couldn't do it without your support.


Lotts PTO has hosted some great events and raised a lot of money that has gone and will go back to the school and directly benefit your kids. 


We are in the last step of the approval process on the playground update and hope to see that installed by late summer or early fall. Along with the playground we will use this money to help stock our new STEM classroom. Thank you for playing a part in making these updates happen. 


It's a little bitter sweet stepping out of the president role but I am very thankful that I get to pass this title to Ashleigh Allman. She has been such a great addition to our PTO board this year and Lotts is in wonderful hands. 


Thanks again everyone and have a great summer!


---Ashley Crawford
