Dear Parents and Staff,

We are excited to invite you to Lewisville ISD's Parent Cafe, a free parent support group led by our Student Assistance Counselors and Social Workers at Lamar Middle School. This is a wonderful opportunity for parents to connect, share experiences, and receive support in a welcoming environment.

Child care will be provided, and a free family meal will be served during each session. We hope to see you there!

Attached, you’ll find flyers in English and Spanish with dates, times, and additional details.

We look forward to having you join us!

Warm regards,

Lauryn Rutherford, M.Ed.
