The next LHE PTA Equity Group meeting is Tuesday, January 12 at 7:30 pm. Everyone is welcome to attend! If you are not on the group mailing list, send us an email to receive the meeting link.
Black Lives Matter at School
Each child, no matter their identity, is shaped by the ways that we treat each other in our community and society. The ideals of Black Lives Matter – including love, respect and real justice for all – are clearly important for ALL children. The thinking and learning inherent in BLM at School is vital all year long, not just for one week. Empathy, kindness and acting for justice are skills that grow with practice, just like math and reading. Our kids are caring, thinking and powerful in what they already can learn and do. They are ready to act to make our society a more just one!
This year, the LHE Parent Equity Group and PTA are partnering with The T Shirt Men Companyto offer LHE Black Lives Matter shirts, hoodies, and masks. The TSM Shop is a small, Black-owned print shop located in Tacoma that does great work for their local community.
Please visit the new shoptoshowyoursupport for Black Lives Matter at Loyal Heights. Deadline to order is January 24. Ordered items will be available for pickup at the school the week of February 1-5. Scholarships are available for students who would like a shirt – please emailKathy Katzen or the Equity Group. For more information on BLM at School and equity efforts at LHE,click here.

We have several volunteer needs and would love your help! Here's what we are looking for:
Auction Procurement Lead Needed
We are looking for someone to help manage the procurement committee. This Procurement Lead will track communication with potential donors, and assign donation asks from a list of past donors. They also work with the auction chair to brainstorm live auction items and coordinate with Data Management Leads to inventory and track donation commitments and incoming procured items. Please contact the Volunteer Coordinator if you're interested.
If you would like to be added to our volunteer database, fill out this form to indicate your areas of interest, and you will be contacted as needs arise.
