TOTES FOR SALE! AND FUNDRAISING UPDATES:
We raised $1662 for the Keep the Alternative in LACS Fund through donations and merch sales so far.  Thank you to everyone who purchased totes and stickers or donated to the fund!

Let’s keep the momentum going! Consider making a donation to help us reach our goal of $5000.  Could you commit to a one time donation in honor of the 50th celebration or to donating a few dollars a month?

Did you miss out on the limited tote bags and would still like one? (See image below)   You can order one and have it shipped to you! This is your last shot – orders close August 12th and then we’re done! All profits go to the fund!

Are you interested in staying involved?  Consider joining the Friends of LACS “Booster Club” where we will support the school through fundraising, advocacy, volunteering and networking.  Email rcostello@gmail.com if you are interested!
