Laurel School Parents Association
Our Mission: LSPA, in partnership with the school, supports school programs and provides additional activities, volunteer opportunities and fundraising to enhance the educational and social experience for the Laurel community.
What's on LSPA MyLaurel? Volunteer SignUpGenius Links • Room Parent Lists • Room Parent Guidelines • Reimbursement Form • LSPA's By-Laws
For more than 50 years, the Laurel School Parents Association (LSPA) has invited and utilized the time, talents and resources of Laurel parents and guardians to benefit the student body.
Fundraising and collecting dues help us reach our goals and further our mission of service to the Laurel community. Together, we: enhance parent-to-parent & school-to parent communication • foster school spirit • act as room parents • assist with Admissions events • support LCRG • celebrate faculty & staff • and so much more! At the end of each year, we generally make a gift to the school that benefits the whole Laurel community.
Of course, we couldn't accomplish any of these things without our stellar volunteers! The list of opportunities spans a range of commitment levels and we welcome you to participate as your time permits.
