LMES PTO
The Lake Murray Elementary PTO is a volunteer-powered organization made up of parents, guardians, teachers, and community members who all share one mission: supporting our students, our staff, and our school. We plan events, fund classroom needs, host teacher appreciation initiatives, coordinate spirit wear, and build the kind of community spirit that makes LMES special.
We work hand-in-hand with LMES staff
We are guided by the same spirit as our school’s own mission — to educate, empower, and encourage every student in a safe, nurturing environment. Everything we do, from a Captain’s Craze pep rally to a quiet gift for a tired teacher during American Education Week, comes from wanting our crew— students and staff alike — to feel inspired and celebrated.
