Parents' Association of La Salle (PALS)

PALS is an inclusive group of parents, connecting families to the school to create a sense of community by supporting LSA faculty, staff & students. We organize & support a variety of meaningful initiatives & events throughout the school year, while fostering parent-to- parent connections, networking & building lasting friendships. We welcome all levels of participation, from attending our monthly meetings to volunteering at events, or simply reading our monthly email updates to stay connected. We encourage you to consider getting involved with PALS, at any capacity you wish, to further enrich your experience at La Salle. All DLS & LSA parents & guardians are welcome.

List of 10 items.

  • Ram Shack

Get to know other parents and have fun cheering on the team! There are additional opportunities to host snack tables at other athletic events.
