Parents
PTO
The Lance Parent-Teacher Organization was started at Lance as a parent-school group to give parents an opportunity to discuss the inner workings with the principals and staff. Their primary function is to act as a communication link. The PTO sponsors the monthly Market Day sales as a way to generate funds to help the school. They also organize our annual variety show held in late March or early April. This variety show gives the students an opportunity to show-case their talents. The PTO donates a portion of the money raised from the show to a community organization and uses these funds to sponsor two college scholarships of $500 for former Lance students.
As part of our by-laws, all the money raised by the PTO in any given year is to be spent in that year unless there is a major project that requires more money. Some items purchased by the Lance PTO include: our lighted sign in front of the school, a flag pole for the football field, a letter cutting system for the staff and students to use in making bulletin boards, classroom fans, ceiling fans in the library, new drinking fountains, laptop computers, digital cameras, LCD projectors, and various instructional materials for staff members.
