PROGRAMS & FUNDRAISING
Loyal Heights has one of the most active and successful PTAs in Seattle. Our fundraising efforts throughout the year ensure that the programs needed to make Loyal Heights successful are funded. The LHPTA funds programs such as Science Fair, Student Council, Artist-in-Residence and the Art Docent Program. In addition, we provide an extensive variety of after school clubs such as Chess, Gardening, Fitness, Drawing, Math, Book Club, Drama, Creative Arts and Pottery.
STAFF & ACADEMICS
Working together with the administration and staff in a seamless relationship, the LHPTA is right there making sure that the school's needs are taken care of from funding, to volunteers, to supplies. Among the programs the PTA funds directly for the school are Vocal Music Education, Tutoring, Support Staff, Technology Integration, Special Teacher Grants and Classroom Funding.
LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
The LHPTA is also very active in Legislative issues. The parents of Loyal Heights were instrumental in getting the 2007 school levy passed. The LHPTA is very active at a Seattle School District level too, attending school board meetings and making our voice heard. Our PTA joins with other local PTAs and the Washington State PTA to continue to fight for children's rights. Legislative Updates
FUN!
But it's not all work and no play, our PTA is a great place to make new friends and get to know the families of the children who are learning and playing with your child every day. We host many social events throughout the year. Our Jogathon, Family Dance and Auction are second to none for fun! You are not only choosing a school for your child, you are choosing a community for your whole family - and the families of Loyal Heights enjoy their time together.
The motto of the National PTA is "every child, one voice". At Loyal Heights we also see that one child needs all voices to reinforce a strong sense of support for who they are becoming. The LHPTA is very proud of its many innovative programs, unique focus on family fun and best of all, for what we are doing to contribute to the success of all of our children.
