Hello and welcome to the 2025–26 school year!
I’m so excited to serve as your PTA President this year! This is my second time in this role—previously as a Co-President—and I continue to be inspired by the incredible community we have here. My husband Marco and I have lived in Lafayette since July 2021, and we have two wonderful kids: one in 5th grade and a 7th grader at Stanley Middle School.
As a full-time working parent, I know how busy life can get. I’m incredibly grateful to have the flexibility and support that allows me to stay involved and give back through the PTA. Our school community means a lot to me, and I truly believe that when we come together—whether through volunteering, attending events, or simply connecting—we make our school stronger for every child.
Whether you’re a returning family or brand new to our school, I hope you’ll feel welcome and encouraged to get involved in whatever way works for you. We have some fun events and meaningful initiatives planned this year, and there’s a place for everyone.
Thank you for being part of this amazing community. I look forward to meeting you and working together to make this a fun, memorable year for our kids!
Warmly,
Ria Di Costanzo
PTA President, 2025–26
P.S. As mentioned, I was previously co-President of the PTA. If you are volun-curious but have some anxiety about the commitment or because you are new to the school, having a friend or just another eager parent with you in a "co-" role is a great way to share the work, get an instant support system, and make a new friend.😊 Please feel free to reach out and we can help you find that volunteer partner.
