Lapham and Marquette Elementary Schools that provide caring, high-quality learning for the children of Madison's Near East Side. For years, the Lapham Marquette Parent Teacher Group has been an integral organization supporting our schools by uniting families, school staff, and the greater community.

“The PTG strengthens our schools by working to uplift every child and standing beside our educators—because every student, no matter their background, deserves a community that sees them, believes in them, and fights for their future. Thank you to the devoted PTG members whose love and advocacy help make Lapham and Marquette a more caring community for all."

Please donate towards our annual goal of $10,000 raised to support the 2025-2026 school year's programs for elementary students.

As our schools, and others across the country, face ongoing budget challenges, the role of Lapham Marquette’s PTG is more crucial than ever to bolster our local schools. We provide a place for caregivers to come together to give extra support to students, teachers, and families, ensuring that school staff feels supported, that classrooms have needed resources, and that all families can meet basic needs.

This fund is our ongoing appeal to ensure support for a range of programs throughout the 2025-2026 academic year, including:

Our PTG is committed to equitable and inclusive efforts, helping to ensure that every student in our dynamic community benefits from the programs, connection, and learning experiences offered by Lapham and Marquette Schools.

Please consider a tax-deductible donation, of any size. The PTG greatly appreciates your generous support and the commitment to our schools.

Thank you,

Lapham Marquette PTG Board
