Lake Elmo Jaycees Donates $4,000 to PTA Last month, the Lake Elmo Jaycees voted to donate $4,000 to the Lake Elmo PTA in support of our Artist in Residence Program.  We are so grateful to their members for their continued support for our programs and investment in our students.   The Jaycees have been a huge supporter and important partner of Lake Elmo Elementary and many organizations in our community for 50 years, and they're looking for new members to keep their group going strong.  For more information on what they do and how to join the Jaycees, visit lakeelmojaycees.org.   Partnership Plan Donates $1,000 to PTA The Lake Elmo PTA would like to thank the Partnership Plan for its generous donation of $1,000, gifted to us as a thank you for our participation in the Pony Up for Kids Campaign in October.  The Partnership Plan gives a tremendous amount and does so much important work for Stillwater area students and teachers each year, and we are proud to partner with them to raise funds for their important work.
