- Purpose of the LMDC
  
  The Moms and Dads Club at Our Lady of the Lakes PK-12 Catholic School serves as a vital conduit between the school community and its administration, fostering a collaborative environment to nurture the holistic growth of our students. Through dedicated volunteerism and thoughtful event planning, the LMDC aims to enhance the safety, Catholicity, and fun educational experiences that foster a vibrant school community. While neither the LMDC or its School Advisory Committee is a fundraising entity, it is committed to judiciously supporting the school's endeavors and respecting the final decision-making authority of the pastor and the school administration. Together, the OLL community will strive to cultivate a nurturing, faith-filled environment where every student can flourish.
School Advisory Commitee

A crucial part of the LMDC is The School Advisory Committee, who collaborates with the administration to address the school's needs and evaluate proposals from various sub-committees, ensuring alignment with the school's mission and values.

- Statement On Fundraising
  
  Our Lady of the Lakes maintains a curated fundraising schedule approved by the Pastor and school administration, that is designed to maximize the use of our resources, amplify impact on school advancement, and limit burden on school families. Our current fundraising schedule consists of 8-10 major events that are designed and scheduled to meet the criteria above to the best of our ability. These and any other funds raised are spent at the discretion of the Pastor of Our Lady of the Lakes or his designee. The LMDC is not responsible for fundraising and should focus a majority of efforts on supporting OLL through volunteerism.
