NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS
Thank You from LECPTA's Auction Party and Home Tour Teams!

Thank you to everyone who supported LECPTA last weekend!  We appreciate all of you who toured the homes, volunteered, donned Viva Las Lakewood merchandise, bid on auction items, bought raffle tickets, sponsored the events and finally... partied Vegas-style!

It is because of each of you that our community was able to raise significant funds to support Lakewood Elementary, J.L Long Middle School and Woodrow Wilson High School. 

We are eager to announce final fundraising numbers in the coming weeks, but first, THANK YOU for putting on your POKER FACE and DOUBLING DOWN for the kids! We hit the JACKPOT with this community!

  • Texas has the second highest rates of human trafficking (1 in 4) in the United States. The new curriculum is an effort to increase awareness and prevent human trafficking. The curriculum was developed by A21, a distinguished non-profit with programs to rescue and rehabilitate victims of human trafficking in 14 countries. https://www.a21.org/
  • The content and language are age-appropriate and serve as building blocks for long-term prevention of human trafficking. The word “trafficking” is not introduced until high school. 
  • Teachers can share lesson materials with parents as soon as they are made available. If you previously opted out and would like to change your response, please email your child’s homeroom teacher. For any additional questions, please reach out to Ms. Romines elromines@dallasisd.org.
