SUBJECT: LCHS 9-12 PTSA: All the News You Need!

President's Message

Dear Family,

This is the last week of classes before final exams, there will not be a block day schedule this week.  I wish our students well as they prepare for their exams, finish projects, and wrap up the first semester.  To help ease the stress, the Wellness Center is hosting a Cocoa and Cram study session in the Cafeteria tomorrow, Wednesday, December 13th after school.  All students are welcome.  You can find the Final Exams schedule here.

This Friday, the 9-12 PTSA and 7/8 PTA will host a wonderful holiday lunch for our teachers and staff members to show our appreciation for all they do for our students.  If you would like to contribute baked treats please contact our Hospitality VPs, Valerie Talbert and Natascha Gundersen. Details are below.

The first semester of the school year has flown by!  As 2023 comes to a close, I wish you and your families a very Happy Holiday and a Happy New Year!  Whether you’re traveling over the holidays or staying in town, I hope that you can take some time to relax and enjoy the time with your families and friends.

I look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

With warm regards,

Christine Chant, LCHS PTSA President

Register Your Ralphs Card Today!

We are so grateful for our community partnership with Ralphs! This is the easiest thing you can do to help our school ... so please sign up your Ralphs card today!

Step One!

Go to: https://www.ralphs.com and sign in to your account. Select "Community Contributions". If you don't see "La Cañada High School PTSA 7-12" then please change it to benefit our school and our kids!

That's it!

And for you overachievers out there (and who amongst us isn't!?) ... here's Step Two! Bug your neighbors, friends and relatives to sign up their Ralphs cards as well!

Not locals? No problem! Ralphs is part of the Kroger family, so your mother-in-law who lives in Arizona can shop using her Fry's card and benefit LCHS too! Your brother in Washington can shop at Fred Meyer and benefit our kids while he's at it! 

Last quarter we had only 325 families registered and still made $2795.53. Just think of what we can earn if all our families register their cards! Thank you!

Amazon Wish Lists for Counselors and Teachers

Our Amazon Wish Lists program has been going well!  

Thank you for supporting our teachers and staff members.  Our 9-12 counselors have also created Wish Lists and would truly appreciate any support, these items will go a long way to help make their day-to-day jobs easier. You can find their Wish List links on our website at LCHS PTSA.  Scroll down the page to Staff and Programs and you’ll find each of the counselors’ names. 

When you buy items from their list, they will be shipped to the school and the teacher or counselor will be notified.  If, for any reason, you choose to buy it separately, please let them know so they can remove it from their list.

If you have any questions please contact Gisela Galan at gisgalan@protonmail.com or Christine Chant at ptapresident@lchsptsa.org

Thank you for supporting our teachers, counselors, and staff!
