HELP OUR PTSA EARN $500!!

The university is collecting data from schools in four different metropolitan areas (Dallas/Fort Worth, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Atlanta). The project uses an internet-based survey for parents that takes about 15 minutes to complete. If they can get 100 survey responses from Lebanon Trail HS parents, they will contribute $500 to our PTSA. Please take a moment to read, respond and share. Deadline is February 28th.
