Principal Update 5.20.19

Dear families,

Thank you so much to everyone who participated, donated, volunteered, and supported our students for our first ever FUN RUN!  Together we raised $13,450 for Lincoln Eliot….that is amazing!!

If you’d like to learn more or have a say in how those funds will be spent next year, please join us on Tuesday, June 4th at 6:30pm in the school library for the last PTO meeting of the year, where we will be going over the budget and talking about future goals (and looking for new volunteers for an expanded PTO board).

As the nice weather is finally here, we have been reminding our scholars of our recess rules and expectations.  Please reinforce safe recess behavior at home.  We understand the importance of recess for all scholars, which is why it is not our practice to take recess away from students.  That said, there may be times when a student will be asked to miss part of their recess to discuss recess expectations.

We hope to see everyone this Thursday, May 23, for our annual International Night, featuring food, student performances, and cultural displays and presentations.  Incoming K families are very welcome to join us.  The schedule of events is as follows:

5:30pm: Multicultural Potluck
6:00pm: Individual Country Displays
6:30pm: Cultural Talent Show

Please mark your calendars:

* Thursday, May 23rd:  International Night, 5:30-7pm
