Lyseth Leopard's Den


Welcome to the Leopard's Den,  Lyseth Parent Teacher Association's innovative fundraising program that balances repeated asks of our Lyseth Community for donations against ensuring the PTA does all it can to support our students, our teachers, and the administration. 


Since 2019, we've used this platform to fundraise the majority of the resources that we provide each year for the Lyseth Community. 


The Leopard’s Den  supports students and teachers in every grade. Here are some examples: 

  • Field trip transportation needs for all grades.

  • Funding the annual Lyseth School Fair as a free community event

  • Refreshing classroom libraries with new books.

  • Providing everything that's needed for Lyseth Field Day

  • Supporting a successful end-of-the-year event for our 5th graders

  • Putting together welcome boxes for incoming Kindergarteners

  • Purchasing needed technology for our speech therapists

  • Plantings and materials for school ground greening 

  • Providing almost $10k for teacher equipment during the pandemic. 

  • Equipment for our gym teachers 

  • Supporting the Lyseth cross-country running program and ensuring all can participate. 

  • Ensuring yearbooks are available each year for Lyseth students.

  • Scholarships for teachers to attend summer professional development 

  • Technology for the school 

  • Fulfilling teacher classroom wishlists so they're not paying out of their own pocket. 

  • Scholastic Reader subscriptions for entire grades of students

  • Extra cold-weather gear for the school to have on-hand when the weather changes

The PTA’s ability to fulfill these needs relies on community participation. A small monthly donation of any amount from those who are able adds up to so much. 


We know that this support means so much to our community. One teacher, upon having their classroom wishlist fulfilled, told us  “In my 26 years of teaching, no one has ever done something like this for me.” 


All we need is 72 new families to join the Leopard’s Den this year to meet our fundraising goal for this year. That’s just over 10 families per grade.  That’s it.  That’s all we need.  


We hope you will join us today.

Thank You!
