Hello, welcome to Loyola College Prep! My name is Jolene Heard, and I am the President of Loyola Parents’ Association (LPA). The LPA is an organization that sponsors events, raises funds, and helps support students, faculty and staff at Loyola. Every parent is automatically a member of LPA upon registration.
I am a mom to one LCP graduate and a current LCP sophomore. My husband is a 1992 graduate, and our family is proud to support this wonderful school. I have seen first-hand what a difference Loyola makes in preparing students for college, and how the Flyer family truly comes together in good times and in bad.
What I love most about the LPA is that it provides many different ways to get involved and support Loyola. Every parent has a talent, passion, skill, or time to give. Last year the LPA formed a Volunteer Committee that helps match parents with different volunteer opportunities they enjoy. We also have many other committees and places where we can put your talents to use. Click here for a list to see where you might be a good match.
Attending LPA sponsored events is a great way to learn about the events, meet people, and become an active part of our Flyer community. From the Style Show to Trivia Night to our monthly meetings, I hope that you will attend as many events as you can so you can meet other parents and find a way to get connected in the Flyer Family.
LPA meetings are typically held on the first Wednesday of each month at noon in the Catholic Center on Fairfield (the old SVA behind the mall). The meetings are short and sweet, but contain a lot of important information. Watch for reminders in the announcements about these meetings.
I know this is going to be a great year for our school and for the LPA! I am excited about the momentum we have, and look forward to seeing you at our events this year. If you have any questions or want to learn more about ways to get involved, please let me know!
Thank you for choosing Loyola as the place to send your child. Welcome to the Flyer Family!
Go Flyers!
