Join the Bowman community for a fun-filled Movie Night!

We need volunteers to make this event a success. And we invite both adults AND fifth grade students to volunteer for the event. Volunteering is fun and easy and includes, among other things helping set up, distributing tickets, selling candy and other treats, and giving away popcorn. Volunteer shifts are short and easy. Sign yourselves and/or your fifth grader(s) up to volunteer HERE. ALL volunteers get FREE movie admission.

We would all like all families who want to participate to be able to. If you have financial concerns regarding attendance, please reach out to [email protected].

Family Math and Games Night is a FREE EVENT and a great way for students and their families to experience the fun of math together with a variety of hands-on activities and board games.

There’s something for everyone – from art patterns to puzzling challenges to fun math games!

PTO Membership Update

A big THANK YOU to all who have joined the Bowman PTO so far this year. Approximately 42% of families have already joined as PTO members for 2024-2025. Help us get to 100%!!

The Bowman PTO supports school programs, funds teacher supplies and staff recognition activities, and organizes community events. We raise approximately $150 per child per year. The PTO is self-sustaining and relies entirely on parent volunteers. Membership is free, but your donation to the PTO now reduces the need for additional fundraising asks throughout the year! Contributions at all levels are welcome.

Maximize Your Membership Contribution with Corporate Matching

Did you know you could potentially double or even triple your contribution to our PTO through your company’s donation matching program? This means your company could match your donation or membership cost, magnifying the impact of your generosity on our school and students.

We encourage you to reach out to your HR department to see if your company offers this program. By leveraging donation matching, you can maximize your support for our PTO. Remember, every bit of support helps us provide valuable resources and opportunities for our students. Thank you for considering this impactful way of giving.

Equity at LPS

Over the past several years, many educators in Lexington Public Schools have devoted to educating themselves about issues of equity in our schools and changed their practice to better prepare all learners to be active, productive members of our larger world. This portion the Equity at LPS website provides some opportunities for self-reflection and learning that might help us all to engage with one another in as productive and respectful a manner as possible. For community members, including students, these materials may provide a clearer understanding for the district’s commitment to equity. Remember, we are all at different places in our understanding of identity and how it impacts learning, and we are all continuously learning!

Please note that many of these resources have not been explicitly vetted or endorsed by Lexington Public Schools. The materials here have been submitted by educators and community members; it is up to the individual to determine whether the resources is appropriate solely for self-reflection and learning or for use with students.
