🚨 Important Color Run Donation Reminder 🚨

Parents, if you recently made a donation for our LPE Color Run fundraiser, please note that the charge on your bank statement may appear under “MFR-lpe,” “MyFunRun,” or MyEvent.com instead of directly saying La Porte Elementary PTO.

We have recently had several payment disputes because families did not recognize the charge. Unfortunately, chargebacks create additional fees and complications for our fundraiser and can take away from the funds raised to support our students and school activities.

Before disputing a charge with your bank, please:
✔️ Check your donation receipt/email confirmation
✔️ Verify the amount and date of your donation
✔️ Reach out to PTO first if you have questions or concerns

We truly appreciate everyone who supported our Color Run and helped make it successful for our students. Thank you for your continued support and understanding!

Reunions, Events & Fundraising Made Easy MyEvent Since 2002, hundreds of thousands have trusted us to plan and manage unforgettable reunions, events & fundraisers.

As the school year begins to come to an end, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank all of our parents, volunteers, teachers, staff, and community members for the incredible support shown throughout this year at La Porte Elementary. 💛🐆

This year would not have been possible without each and every one of you. From volunteering your time, supporting fundraisers, attending events, donating, sharing posts, and helping our students succeed your support has truly made a difference.

A very special shoutout goes to some of our amazing volunteers who dedicated so much of their time this year:
✨ Kristy Escobedo
✨ Cortney Scadden
✨ Maria Washington
✨ Sandra Colin
✨ Kristina Alvarez
✨ Vanessa Flores
✨ Samantha Fulps
✨ Hayley Caulk
✨ Yennie Nohemi .pop_events

…and anyone else we may have accidentally missed please know your help and dedication never went unnoticed!

We are proud of everything we accomplished together this school year and remain committed to continuing our support for our students and school. Thanks to everyone’s efforts, we were able to continue raising funds to help pay for school field trips and student activities for every grade level.

With the last day of school approaching on May 21st, we want to say THANK YOU for making this such a successful year. We cannot wait to see what next school year brings, so stay tuned for more exciting events and opportunities to support our Leopards! 🐆🧡

📚 Yearbooks are STILL available for purchase!
