PTO Co-Presidents

Dear SaintsAlumni,

On behalf of the PTO Executive Board, Shannon and I would like to invite you to visit SLCS and see all the great things happening at the school! We are very grateful to all the parent volunteers that encompass our school’s community. We know how valuable everyone’s time is, yet they make an effort to enrich our Saints daily activities and yearly events by involving themselves. Whether coordinating events, assisting behind the scenes, or volunteering for daily activities, every role they serve is sincerely appreciated. So many experiences our Saints are having that enhance their academic journey are possible because they answer the call to serve our school community.

We know our young students notice their efforts as well. As you as alumni continue your journey beyond, we hope that you will strive to mirror the gracious, compassionate, Catholic example of the parent volunteer community. We pray that you may continue to spread those acts of service witnessed during your time at St. Laurence Catholic School, which made your time here so unique. We hope to see you in the hallways or at various events.

God Bless,

Priscilla Hill and Shannon Caldwell PTO Co-Presidents
