The Chisago Lakes Parent Teacher Organization (CLPTO) bids a thankful farewell to their Treasurer, Becky Erickson. Becky has served the CLPTO in many different capacities over several years and we wish to express our sincere gratitude and bid her a fond farewell. Debbie Zollinger has graciously accepted the position as CLPTO Treasurer as well as Steve Alm again volunteering to serve as the CLPTO Vice President.

A special thank you to the parents, teachers and staff of Chisago Lakes Primary and Lakeside schools for making the 08/09 school year a banner year. This academic year, the CLPTO has provided $18,580 in direct financial assistance to Lakeside and Primary Schools as well as saving $2,266 towards building a new playground at the Primary School. In addition, the 217 Two-Hour Power Parents have contributed over 352 Power Hours in direct support of CLPTO school related functions. On top of these hours are the countless hours contributed by our new Classroom Parent Program volunteers who provided direct support to Chisago Lakes Primary and Lakeside classroom teachers throughout the school year. Great Job Chisago Lakes Team! Thank you for being an essential part of making our Chisago Lakes Schools great!
