How can I stay informed of volunteer opportunities?

Email from LMS PTA – By joining LMS PTA, your name and email will be added to our email distribution list. Emails are sent from our Gmail account. If you would like to be removed from this email distribution list, please reply or send an email to our Gmail. Please be aware that you will no longer receive any emails from LMS PTA. 

All volunteers must complete a background check through SMCPS (required by SMCPS, not LMS PTA). It will take about 2 weeks to get approved. You must sign up to be an approved volunteer every year.

Please view the St. Mary's County Public School's Safety & Security page to learn more about registering as an SMCPS volunteer.

 

Dances

All LMS PTA dances will be held from 6:00-8:00 PM in the LMS Gym and Cafeteria.
The school also hosts 4 other dances throughout the year that are held directly after
school and are fundraisers for a specific department within LMS. Those dances are not
put on the PTA. If for any reason school is canceled, then the dance will also be
canceled.


For each dance, the PTA hires a DJ with lights, provides security, and sells drinks, pizza,
candy, and trinkets (glow items, hats, sunglasses, etc.). Tickets to the dances
(wristbands) are sold the day of the dance in homeroom for $5 or they can be
purchased at the door the night of the dance (they do not get a wristband if they pay at
the door). Since this is our primary fundraiser, the PTA asks for soda, Gatorade, bottled
water, and candy donations from parents the week before the dance and then purchase
anything that is still needed the day of the dance. In the past, the dances have been the
PTA's primary fundraiser and we have provided many items for the school such as
audio equipment and microphones used in the cafeteria for plays and assemblies, apps,
and eBooks for the Media Center, agendas for the students and much more.


At the dances, the students hang out more than dance in the gym and cafeteria but are
not allowed anywhere else in the school. They have fun socializing and acting like kids,
but of course, have to be supervised. The dances are a great way for the kids to have
fun in a safe, supervised environment and for them to visit with friends they don't get to
see every day. Therefore, we MUST have at least 20-25 parent volunteers/chaperones at
each dance. If we do not get the volunteers, then we will be forced to cancel the dance.
As with any school-sponsored event, all volunteers have to register and be approved
with St. Mary’s County Public Schools. 

 

Teacher Appreciation

The LMS PTA Teacher Appreciation Committee sponsors several events each year including a Back to School Lunch in August, a Holiday Tea in December, Teacher Appreciation Week each May, and other events decided on by the committee each year.
