Dear LPS and SSS Families:
Race for Education is our biggest fundraiser of the year for the SSS PTO and LPS Preschool PTO. Students will collect pledges from family, friends, and neighbors and then on "Race Day" the students will walk laps outside of the school in their grade level t-shirts! Your support allows the PTOs to continue to fund many great enrichment programs and events at SSS and LPS Preschool.
The money raised this year will directly benefit the teachers and students at the school, including supporting enrichment programming like author visits, STEM experiences, and field trips.
