Dear Ludlow Taylor Community,
Given recent circumstances and ongoing uncertainty — we’ve made the decision to move our scheduled PTO meeting on Thursday, January 29 to a fully virtual format. There will be no in-person meeting at LT that evening.
Updated Schedule (Virtual):

Guest Speaker AP Ingram: 5:30–6:15 PM
For families interested in learning more about our feeder school Stuart Hobson Middle School, Asst. Principal Tierra Ingram will give an information session before the LT PTO agenda starts.
PTO Meeting: Begins at 6:15 PM
Access the meeting [AGENDA] and the live meeting Zoom link.

We completely understand that this can be a challenging time of day with dinner, childcare, and family responsibilities. Please feel free to join whenever and however you’re able. We’ll be thrilled to have you.
As with all PTO meetings, we will provide meeting notes, which can be found on our website: Ludlow Taylor PTO. If there are any topics you’d like us (or SHMS AP Ingram) to cover, please feel free to email pto@ludlowtaylor.org or submit your question via the LT Listens Form.
Thank you for your flexibility and continued support of our school community. We hope everyone stays warm and safe, and we look forward to seeing you online.
Warmly,
Andrea Lisell

Camps+ Auction
2026-01-11 - 2026-01-21
LT families,

The auction team is bringing back the Camps+ Auction for a second year. We know many camps open enrollment by mid January and families are often already planning the summer as a result. We’re here to help!

On January 11 we will launch the online-only 10 day event, which will include full or partial discounts on summer camps in the DMV area, spring break camps, day off camps and winter only events like an Olympics opening ceremony watch party and ice skating passes.

We already have 17 partial or full camp experiences donated, and we hope to beat our number last year of 20 different camps (see the list of previous donors here). New donors include RDU Tennis Camp(spring and summer options), Theatre Lab, and Wise Little Owls (check it out ECE — this is for 3-5 yr olds!)

If you have a favorite camp, please let us know and ask them if they would consider donating to support LT!
