PTSA News.
Help Wanted - Treasurer Position Open!
We are STILL in need for a Treasurer!!! If you have any accounting experience, and/or past PTA treasurer experience, please contact Linda Kawamura at tkawamu@msn.com.
The PTSA budget is not as intense as an elementary school PTA, or even a middle school PTSA budget. There is little to no fundraising done, but as a non-profit organization, we still need to keep our records up-to-date. Please consider helping us out!!!! Thank you!

Reflections
The Reflections program is alive and well at the high school level. The theme this year is "Beauty is . . . ". If your child is interested in entering a work of art in the form of a drawing, painting, literature, photograph, musical piece, or other venue, entry forms are available in the school's library. All entries must have a completed Official Entry Form, and must be signed by the student and parent/guardian. Please turn in all entries to the main office by Monday, November 9, 2009.
The Reflections Program is a National PTA and Washington State PTA student arts recognition program. The purpose of this program is to provide an opportunity for students to use their creative talents by expressing themselves through their own original works. Each year, Reflections challenges students to create art that supports a specific theme. Information and entry packets are also available online at: http://www.wastatepta.org/programs/Reflections/reflect.htm.

LHS Memorial Scholarship Fund Committee Meeting, Sept. 28, 4:00pm, Career Center.
Interested parents and new members are welcome to come.
The Memorial Scholarship Fund is an endowment that was created in 1976 by a group of community members for the purpose of using interest earnings and other sources of funding to award scholarships to graduating seniors. Since that date, $92,350 has been awarded to deserving LHS students. A candidate for our scholarship is active not only in school, but is also involved in the community and usually demonstrates good academic skills. Volunteers are needed to serve on the committee. Committee members help with a fundraiser during the year, and review and rank scholarship applications. Contact: Lynn Desmarais (425) 255-1189, e-mail desmarag@gte.net) or Karalyn Pellegrini (425) 204-3225, e-mail karalyn.pellegrini@rentonschools.us
