PTA and PSST Activities

Laing PTA Needs Your Help!
Last Year's Chili Cook-off was a great success and a lot of fun for parents and staff. We need YOUR help to make this year's Chili Cook-off a success! Please let us know if you would like to participate or get involved. Volunteers are needed to find a location, gather donations for the silent auction and organize the many details of the event. If you can suggest a location, donate items for the auction, create a killer chili entry (you might win a great prize) or help in other ways, please contact Tami Henry at tamiforan@gmail.com.

Show your PSST Support at Chucktown Coffee!
PSST (Parents Supporting Staff and Teachers) is trying to earn free coffee cards to present to teachers at the end of the school year! We have an account set up at Chucktown Coffee (by Target in Mt. Pleasant) under "Laing Middle School". For every 10 drinks purchased on this account, we earn a free drink. Mention "Laing Middle School" when purchasing something at Chucktown! The end of the year is fast approaching, and we have lots more to earn! What an easy, simple way to show your support! Spread the word to family and friends. THANK YOU !!!"
