PTO Update — October 3, 2022

Hello families!

It was great to see everyone who made it to our Zoom PTO meeting; thank you for joining us, and thanks especially to Principal Morse and our two teacher representatives, Sarah Jang and Jen Terrazzino, for their updates about the beginning of the school year.

If you missed the meeting, you can review the slideshow below:

One topic of discussion was that we would love to bring back the Fall Festival this year (mark your calendars for Friday, October 28th!) — but we need volunteers to make it happen!  If you’d like to join the Fall Festival committee or find out more, contact Lanni Isenberg at lanni_harris@yahoo.com.

We were also so happy to welcome our first Creative Arts and Sciences program of the year, a cappella group Ball in the House, to brighten up the kids’ Wednesday with their music!

Thank you for your support of the PTO, which allows us to bring in programs like this.

Hi LE Families,

What a way to start June with last week’s events!

Last Tuesday we filled our school with music and voices again for the 4th and 5th grade Spring Concert. Thank you, LE Music/Band/Chorus Teacher Claudia Pawlikowski and all our students for an amazing job and an evening to remember!

We came together again the very next day for the in-person return of Multicultural Night.  We shared our cultures with one another through delicious food, stories, student performances, cultural displays, and presentations! Thank you to all participants, volunteers, students and staff!

 

Looking ahead to this week, we have:

  • June 15th: LE Celebration Day/Color Day from 10am-12pm (Rain date is June 16)

Prinicipal / PTO Update 5.22

Hi All,

What a wonderful week we had with the Fun Run on Wednesday. The weather couldn’t have been nicer and the kids (and teachers) all worked so hard to complete their laps! With the help of all of you, this Fun Run was one of the most successful fundraisers we’ve had at LE, raising $19,000!!! A large portion of that money does go straight back to Booster, so we do hope to have parent volunteers take over some of the duties in order to keep more of the money we raise next year. Thank you again to everyone who donated, shared their page with others, and helped make this such a fun event!

Tomorrow we have Family Science Night. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hi LE families,

We have had a rockin’ week at LE with music and dancing to get everyone excited about the Fun Run. Students have been visited during lunch periods to watch videos and even earned dance parties for high participation!

All this buzz is leading up to the event on this Wednesday, May 18th! Parents are welcome to come cheer on their kids!

Have a terrific week,

Principal Morrissey & the PTO

Principal / PTO Update 5.8

Hi Families,

Lots of buzz about the Fun Run is happening in the school already. Starting tomorrow, there will be representatives getting the children excited and pumped for the run on Wednesday, May 18th!

We are already 60% to our $8000 goal. Please register if you haven’t already and help make this Fun Run a success.

We also have the Discovery Museum coming for a Creative Arts and Sciences Program (CAS) tomorrow for 4th grade. Without fundraising, the PTO would not be able to provide enrichment programs such as this.

Have a great week,

Principal Morrissey & the PTO

Hi LE families,

We want to welcome everyone back after a week-long break. Whether you stayed local or traveled far, please be sure to use your COVID rapid antigen tests today or tomorrow before returning back to school.

It is going to be a packed May, starting with the Family Science Night on Monday, May 9th. Please be sure to use the link below to sign up your child if they are interested in presenting a project.

The Fun Run festivities will also begin on the week of May 9th and culminate with the actual run on Wednesday, May 18th. There will be more details to come about what the Fun Run is and how to help be part of this fundraising effort for our school.

Have a fantastic week,
