Welcome to Lester PTA!
PTA Committees give their time & talents to organize and execute programs for Lester students and staff.​
​
Our PTA programs are made possible by volunteers. There are many committees with varying levels of commitment and time needed.
Please consider volunteering! With few exceptions, all committees may be led by multiple volunteers.
