The Lowell Fund
This is the time of year that the Lowell PTSA sends our annual fundraising letter.
Check your mailbox! You will be receiving it shortly.
Please consider a gift to the Lowell Fund this year. https://www.lowellptsa.org/lowell-fund.html
As the year comes to a close, I think about the ways that we can impact our community in a positive way. The Lowell PTSA is able to bring so much value to the Lowell experience because we have generous donors and volunteers year after year. With so many urgent needs in the world around us, it can be hard to decide where we can be most useful. I often remember something that one of my early mentors shared with me: focus on community. You can often have the most immediate and rewarding experience by boosting and supporting your local community. You can see the impact. Small kindnesses can make a huge difference. I urge you to support the Lowell Fund this year and help us to continue the important work of supporting the young adults who represent our hope and our future.
Thank you,
Hilary Craddock
2018-19 President, Lowell PTSA
Message from the Wellness Center
Petition for Gender Neutral bathrooms on Lowell campus
Message from Sarah Cargill, our Community Health Outreach Worker and GSA liaison: "Since our GSA Day of Action and Solidarity on November 15th (a collaborative organizing effort led by our Youth Outreach Workers and Gender and Sexuality Alliance), we were able to gather 279 signatures from Lowell students and teachers in support of adding two additional gender neutral bathrooms on our campus. Our student leaders will continue to collect signatures from now until December 14th."
