LWPTSA Council Advocacy Roundtable – September 9, 2024
🎯 Why Advocacy Matters—Join the Conversation!
We’re hosting an Advocacy Roundtable to bring families, educators, and community members together for a powerful discussion on how we can make a difference in our schools.

🛠️ What We’ll Explore:
  • How families can engage with school board decisions
  • Ways to advocate for equitable access to enrichment and support services
  • Building partnerships that uplift all students
  • Upcoming opportunities to get involved, including candidate forums and legislative outreach
🤝 Whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned changemaker, this roundtable is a space to learn, connect, and take action—together.
Event Details:
      • Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2025
      • Time: 6:30-7:30 PM
      • Online: Register
Let’s keep our schools vibrant, inclusive, and responsive to every child’s needs. We hope to see you there!
