From Your PTO
LTHS PTO's mission is to enrich the education of each student on our campus. We do this by investing our ideas, time, and money into Student and Teacher related programs that we believe foster a positive and fun learning environment. We work in close collaboration with our principal to identify and prioritize needs and to spend donations in the same year as they are contributed
 
In 2015-16 the PTO budgeted over $51,000 toward our Student and Teacher programs. While supporting and adding to our annual programs for students and teachers, we were able to allocate $20,500 toward NEW wish list items!
 
Your financial support makes our ongoing programs for students and staff and the Wish List possible. The LTHS PTO relies on two major sources of funding:  sponsorships / ad sales for the LTISD Student Directory and the LTHS PTO No Hassle Fundraiser (NHF) campaign.
 
We call the NHF campaign "No Hassle" because we don't ask you or your student to buy or sell anything, just to make a one-time donation. We depend on donations from our families early in the school year, so we may plan our wish list spending by late October. The more we receive, the more we can spend. Please consider donating to our No Hassle Fundraiser and join us as we continue enriching the education of each student on our campus.

You can make your 2016-17 No Hassle Fundraiser donation and/or purchase a directory by visiting our website lthspto.org anytime. Or, you can complete and print this form.  
It's that time of year again -
Time to order your copy of the
2016-17 LTISD Student Directory!
 
Don't Miss Out!!
Have all the information you need for the school year!

The directory is printed and bound and contains student contact information as well as information for each LTISD school and all district offices.  With all the growth and change in our district,  you will definitely want at least one for your family. Proceeds from sales fund our PTO programs here at LTHS. Help our school AND help yourself ... It's a WIN-WIN. 

Click HERE to print the order form.  You can bring or send the complete form and payment to the main or annex office.

Please make checks payable to LTHS PTO.
 
Please contact [email protected] with any questions.

Any student in grades 9-12 is eligible and invited to join this high school student organization devoted to preparing emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management.

Another way to support LTHS PTO...
Lake Travis students, family and friends!  Help support your LTHS PTO by shopping on Amazon. YES, you read that right!  Search/google Amazon Smile, then login like normal.  A crazy number of purchases are eligible for donation to your AmazonSmile charity.  

Go to https://smile.amazon.com.  At 'Pick your own charitable organization', type:   
Lake Travis High School Parent Teacher Organization

Hit Search, then Select.    
Remember going forward to always use the Amazon Smile site instead of regular Amazon site when you shop.  Everything else is the same... Except that now you are helping the LTHS PTO better serve all our students.  You Shop, and Lake Travis High School wins!!  How awesome is that?!?
