Make a "Write a Check" donation to the LHHS PTA

Over the last two years, the LHHS PTA has initiated efforts to ensure all our Wildcats

have what they need to succeed, including nutritious food, clothing, school supplies

and fresh fruit to kick off their Fridays.

These new initiatives, as well as the ongoing work we do to support

our students, teachers and staff throughout the year,

require substantial volunteer and financial resources.

Whether you are a parent, staff member or a friend of LHHS,

please contribute to our "Write a Check" fundraising effort

to help the LHHS PTA continue to support our Wildcat community!

UPDATED BYLAWS AND STANDING RULES APPROVED

Here are the new bylaws and standing rules that were approved

March 31, 2020 at the virtual LHHS PTA General Meeting.

RISD AND LAKE HIGHLANDS COVID-19 RESPONSE

RISD leaders and staff have been working almost non-stop since COVID-19 arrived

in North Texas to develop plans and protocols to respond,

including online learning and a comprehensive meal distribution plan

(click here to get the latest updates from RISD).

Leaders from our schools and PTAs, local government, non-profits,

faith-based organizations and businesses in the Lake Highlands + Hamilton Park community

are collaborating to supplement RISD's weekday food program

to support students and neighbors who are being hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis.

Visit the RISD Coronavirus webpage for a complete list of locations and additional details.

Weekends: Several non-profit organizations, including Imagine Dallas, Café Momentum, Network of Community Ministries, Lake Highlands Junior Women's League and others, are working together to provide COVID-19 response efforts, including weekend meal kits offered to help food-insecure families during the weekend.

Network of Community Ministries is looking for volunteers to help pack and distribute emergency meal kits. Sign up here Note: Network of Community Ministries has provided food for the LHHS Wildcat Den this semester and has been a great partner to our PTA and school!

Imagine Dallas, a 501c3 organization that serves the communities of Lake Highlands + Hamilton Park, is coordinating financial support for non-profit organizations that are providing COVID-19 response efforts. Please visit their website for updates and information. All monetary donations made to Imagine Dallas will be dedicated to providing support in our community during the COVID-19 response.

Keep ordering take-out from our local restaurants and support local businesses! Imagine Dallas has created an ever-growing master list of local restaurants and businesses, including several owned by LHHS families. Visit their website for updates and information about how you can support our community.

LHHS WILDCAT DEN DONATIONS NEEDED!

The LHHS Wildcat Den is the food pantry and clothes closet that serves our homeless students and food insecure families. Identified students are able to visit the pantry with CIS (Communities in Schools) representatives on Fridays during 6th period so they are able to get food for the weekend. It also serves to meet individual needs throughout the week.

We are asking our LH community for donations so that we can use the remaining funds left in our budget to purchase fresh food and continue to provide Fresh Fruit Fridays. Please see the sign-up here.

RISD Clothes Closet Requests

The RISD Council of PTAs Clothes Closet needs donations and volunteers in order to help students in need.

For information on donations, please see this flyer.
