Area Parent-Teacher Organizations (PTOs) from Liberty Pines Academy, Ocean Palms Elementary, and Landrum Middle School came together to support the new St. Johns County school, Lakeside Academy, opening this school year in our community.
Local PTOs help fill gaps in funding at schools through the purchase of technology, teacher grants, and much more each year. As a result, these three schools donated to help Lakeside Academy’s PTO hit the ground running. With a collective donation of $11,000, Lakeside will have a foundation from which they can grow their PTO in the upcoming school year.
