Académie Lafayette parents and families—this year’s main event is the Musketeer March 2023! Our goal is to raise $50,000 at each campus for student initiatives (safety, security, classroom improvements, international travel and to strengthen our school community).

Pizza will be served and care will be available for school-age children.

Each spring, the PTO coordinates a school supply sale. Kits are created based on our teachers’ supply lists and are available for parents to order in advance. Parents receive an early bird discount when they purchase through Yubbler in the spring. The PTO receives a portion of the proceeds as well as a credit for our social workers to use! The supplies will be delivered to your home.

Our high school students are excitedly looking forward to summer. Many are hoping to use the break in the school year to gain some hands-on experience in their career fields of interest. I have worked with them to find some opportunities around Kansas City but would love to explore even more opportunities. Does your place of business currently have paid or unpaid internships or shadow opportunities for high school students? If not, would you be willing to work with me to set something up? Our students are interested in a variety of fields including engineering, medicine, veterinary science, public service, culinary arts, construction technology, automotive technology, cosmetology, architecture, business, fine arts, journalism, music, marketing, film and education. Please reach out to me if you have any ideas or would like to work with me to explore developing an opportunity for our students.
