Your participation matters! - Did you know? Your participation in the Community Dine Out fundraiser last month helped us raise the funds needed to set up the pumpkin patch 🎃 for your children to enjoy.
As your PTA representatives, our goal is to bring the Live Oak community together, and we do so by having several events and programs throughout the year. When you sign up for membership and/or participate in our fundraisers, it helps us cover the cost of these events.
*Membership does not obligate you in any way.* Learn More
