Parent and Community Support

Parents are involved as classroom volunteers, community-school committee members and as a major fund-raising arm of the school. The 2007 Auction night raised over $20,000 which the PTSA earmarked for technology purchases. As a result, every classroom has a document camera, a projector and there are several Smartboards throughout the school.
Leawood’s PTSA is not just about fundraising: they also plan and sponsor the school carnival and most recently, a 50’s Night.
