  • Morning Mile

    Each morning, the students run, or walk, around the track.  The laps will be totaled and students will be rewarded as they accumulate miles.  

    Exercise not only works to fight childhood obesity, it allows students an opportunity to expend youthful energy and socialize. This helps them focus once the school day begins. It’s a win-win for everyone involved and Lawton Chiles Elementary is thrilled to promote fitness and all the great benefits that go with it.

  • From the Advocacy Committee 

    One Mill for Schools

    The One Mill, first approved by voters in 2008 and renewed every four years since then, raises about $23 million annually, helping fund the salaries of over 350 local teachers and supporting all 27,000+ Alachua County Public Schools (ACPS) students. The renewal for One Mill for Schools will be on the general election ballot on November 5, 2024. The One Mill currently supports Chiles Elementary School by funding employment of six vital staff members. Please consider voting Yes on November 5. Learn more about One Mill here.
    PTA Supply Closet
    New this year, the PTA is stocking and organizing a supply closet that will house clothing, backpacks, school supplies, hygiene products, etc., available for staff to provide to students in need. Since this is new, we need your help to set it up and fill it. You can sign up here for a volunteer shift to organize the new space. You can also donate items to the bins outside the front office. Right now we are in need of kids socks (any size), kids underwear (boys or girls, any size), and laundry detergent. We also always collect new kids clothing items and school supplies including backpacks, 2” binders, composition notebooks, and pencil boxes. Thank you for your support! 

  • Hospitality Committee

    Greetings from the Hospitality Committee! If you are interested in volunteering with us, please email Megan Martin at megan10877@gmail.com. The Hospitality Committee not only plans and executes Staff Appreciation Week each May, we also provide snacks and goodies to the staff throughout the year. Another aspect of the committee is that we recognize staff during their designated recognition days (i.e. Nurse's week, Administrative Assistant Day, etc.) While volunteering with the committee, you don't have to be present for all events, so it's great for those who work or have limited availability. We have some great events planned and would love to have you join us! Once again, email Megan Martin at megan10877@gmail.com if you're interested in joining the committee.
