Letter from the PTA President

Dear LHE Wildcat Families,

On behalf of the Lake Highlands Elementary PTA, welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! As your PTA President, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your continued support and dedication to our school community. Together, we strive to create an environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our PTA is committed to serving our school with kindness, openness, and a shared goal of supporting our students and staff. Your involvement and contributions make a meaningful difference in the lives of our children, whether through volunteering, attending events, or sharing your ideas.

As your PTA President, I am proud to share our commitment to supporting and enhancing every aspect of Lake Highlands Elementary. With a legacy spanning over 67 years, our community of students, parents, teachers, and staff has laid a strong foundation that we are excited to build upon today.

Together, we aim to foster a positive impact across our school community. Our annual budget of over $200,000 supports essential operating expenses, teacher initiatives, and enriching activities for our students. Through the dedication of our PTA, we have also improved our campus with projects like the Wildcat Wonderland, Wildcat Walkways, playground shade structures, and a vibrant courtyard, ensuring a safe and conducive environment for learning.

For our PTA to be successful, we need your help!  In the same way our teachers and staff grow and nurture our children, now is the time for us as parents to nurture our staff and school.

Please know that your voices are valued, and we encourage you to reach out with any thoughts or suggestions you may have. Together, we can make this school year a memorable and successful one for all our students.

Please consider taking the following steps in being an active part of our school community:

1)   Join the PTA! The more members we have, the bigger our voice! In the wise words of the Texas PTA: Back the future - be informed. Be active. Be your kid’s biggest fan. Be PTA.

2)   Volunteer! There are so many ways to support LHE…Become a room parent, help with the auction, volunteer at the book fair, and so much more! Don’t forget to join Dad’s Club and volunteer as a door greeter, morning mentor, and more!

3)   Support the PTA with a financial contribution. This year marks LHE’s 67th Anniversary.  Please consider making a donation of $67 in the form of a monetary donation to the PTA HERE.  We have several fundraisers throughout the year, so please show your support as you are able. Our largest fundraiser is the LHE Auction on February 24th.  You can support the auction by being a sponsor, donate an item to the silent/ live auction, host a sign and go party, and/ or buy tickets to attend. 

Thank you once again for your ongoing support. I look forward to our continued collaboration and seeing the positive impact we can make together.

Warm regards,

Anna Cobbs
