Self-organize A Parent Event:

If your Stanley student is involved in a particular activity at school, feel free to self-organize a gathering of families. There are plenty of great spots in Lafayette that work for informal and formal gatherings. If you need help connecting with a specific group of parents, figuring out where to have your meet-up, or finding venue ideas, please contact Kellie Piacente, PTA VP Community at vpcommunnity@stanleypta.org).
