About Us

Every parent has something to give. We make it easy to give it.

The Level Creek PTA is entirely volunteer-run — a community of parents, guardians, and staff working to make school better for every kid here.

Where the money goes

Giving & Grants

LCE PTA has made a habit of giving back to the classroom.

10% of the money collected from our annual Fall Fundraiser goes directly back to our teachers and students in the form of teacher grants.

Teacher grants

Teachers can apply for much-needed classroom equipment, innovative teaching programs and strategies, or new curriculum they would like to implement.

There are endless possibilities to the teacher grant requests the PTA considers annually.

    media center remodel

Joining the PTA doesn’t mean you’re signing your life away — it means you believe in the students, staff, and families at Level Creek.

This was the year Level Creek’s PTA could point to a number on a membership dashboard and still feel every Friday morning behind it.

269 members didn’t just join a list — they underwrote Arts in Education, stacked a media center with books and furniture, and kept teacher grants moving into every grade band. 1,102 students and 123 staff sat downstream of those choices: specials stocked, classrooms resourced, stages booked.

The poster tells the full inventory. The story is simpler: when families show up together, the school gets louder, kinder, and better equipped.

Media Center remodel

New shelving, furniture, and books — a library kids want to walk into.

Arts in Education

From kindergarten imagination shows to fifth-grade history stages, every grade got a live arts experience.

Family nights that stuck

Party on the Playground, Paw Parade, Bingo, Carnival, Heritage Night — the calendar that makes a school feel like home.

Teacher grants, grade by grade

PE equipment, STEM robots, Spanish games, decodable books, color printers, weather kits — grants that land in real classrooms.

2023–2024

The year fundraiser dollars turned into teacher grants and a media center rebuild.

Twelve thousand dollars in teacher grants. A media center re-shelved and re-furnished. Playgrounds, planters, and grade-level gardens tended by volunteers who never made the yearbook cover.

Each year, a portion of the Level Creek Elementary School PTA fundraiser goes directly to teachers who submit grant requests for their classrooms.

Before the membership dashboard made the headlines, 2023–2024 was the year the PTA proved the model in concrete: fundraiser in, classroom out.

$12,000 in teacher grants went to the people who fill the building every morning. The media center got more than a facelift — it got furniture, books, and shelves built for real traffic. Specials and grade levels received materials with names attached: soccer equipment, decodable readers, chapter books, 3D models of Earth and Moon.

It’s the quiet arithmetic of a strong PTA year: dollars raised by families, spent where students can touch them.

Media Center investment

New shelving, main-desk furniture, seating, books, and wall graphics — infrastructure for reading.

Every teacher, day one

Each teacher received $100 at the start of the year for classroom needs — small dollars, school-wide reach.

Specials & grade-level grants

PE, STEM, music, art, decodable readers, Spanish books, classroom libraries — mapped K through 5.

Campus enrichment

Playground walkway and Gaga pit turf, grade-level gardens, cafeteria lighting, bus-lane planters.
