Our PTA is what it is because of the incredible parents behind it,  and with several key positions opening up next year, we’re looking for parents to step in and help ensure the programs and events we all love—and that are so important to our students, schools, and community—continue next year.

 
Many roles can be shared with a friend—everything is more fun that way!

Benefit Thank You Letter Thank you for an incredible Benefit! What an unforgettable night at The Greatest Show in Glenview! Thanks to the incredible generosity and energy of LYPR community, we raised over $50,000, including an amazing $18,000 in sponsor Donations. THis night was truly a reflection of what makes our community so special. From our generous sponsors and donors to the volunteers and Benefit Team who spent countless hours bringing every detail o life, to the parents and families who continue to show up year after year - this success belongs to all of you. Every year we wonder if we can pull it all together. . . and every year, this community exceeds all expectations. Your support, enthusiasm, and heart make it all possible. We are so grateful for the opportunity to support our students, teachers, and schools in such meaningful days - and so thankful to be a part of a community that shows up the way LYPR does. Thank you for being part of the Magic - Katie
