Dear Liberty Families,

Welcome to another fabulous year of fun and enrichment! I wanted to reach out to introduce myself and share a little bit about Liberty Early Childhood’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO.)

My name is Lindsay Hauser, and I have two Kindergarteners here at Liberty. My two older kiddos are also past Leopards, and from the day we stepped into Liberty, we knew it was a special place. The teachers and staff are some of the most loving people in Lakota, but I might be a bit biased.

This is my FIRST year as PTO President and I am so ready for this school year to begin and to really get my feet wet in this position. If I’m being completely honest, I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing, BUT, I have an amazing executive board, most of whom are returning this school year, so I know that we will continue to do amazing and fun things for our students, our teachers, and our amazing school staff.

Your involvement in the PTO is invaluable. Whether you’re interested in volunteering at events, sharing your skills, or simply attending meetings to stay informed, your participation strengthens our community and enriches the educational experience for all students. I know what you’re thinking, “This sounds great, Lindsay! I totally want to get involved! The PTO sounds like a lot of FUN! So, what next??” Well, I will tell you!!

1. Join our private Facebook group. This is where we do a bulk of our communicating - especially for last minute schedule changes. Scan the QR code on the back page to join our group. Please answer the required questions before you will be given access to the group. This is for the safety of our students as we post information as well as photos.

2. Come to our PTO meetings. You can be as quiet or participative as you feel comfortable, and you’ll see the behind the scenes planning of the events of the PTO and you will learn how you can be involved. Our meetings are monthly and begin at 6:30pm. The dates of our meetings are 9/4, 10/2, 11/6, 12/4,1/8, 2/5, 3/5, 4/9, and 5/7.  We also have a Liberty teacher at each of these meetings which has been a welcomed addition to our meetings! It is wonderful to have a teacher's input when planning events.

3. Sign up to help. During the year, Sign Up Geniuses will go out requesting help through donations or volunteering. These are so fun and the look on your kid’s faces when they see you at school will melt your heart!

4. Reach out with any questions. We would love to help you gather information about any area of the PTO in which you may be interested.

On behalf of the PTO, welcome to the start of another PAW-TASTIC year!!

Lindsay Hauser, PTO President 2025-2026
