Our annual Lincoln-Eliot Family Science Night is going to look a little different this year, but our committee is hard at work planning for a fun online celebration of our young scientists.  Start brainstorming now and mark your calendars for Wednesday, April 14th, and Thursday, April 15th!  More information will be coming soon about how to participate — if you’re interested in helping the committee, or if you’re a scientist willing to talk to a group of kids about your job, please reach out to us at president@lepto.org!

Don’t forget that this Wednesday, February 3rd is our Lincoln-Eliot Bertucci’s Fundraiser!

On February 3rd between 11am-9pm, enjoy all of your favorites at any Bertucci’s location (delivery, to go, or dine in) and present the following flyer — or enter the unique code 229-633-235 when ordering online — and 15% of the proceeds will go to support our school!

Mark your calendars: We will be having our first ever Lincoln-Eliot Virtual Trivia Night on Friday, January 22, at 7pm, and we’d love to see you there!  It should be a really fun night and a chance to see friends we haven’t seen in a while, at least virtually.

The format will be Stump! Trivia (https://www.sporcle.com/blog/2020/05/what-is-stump-trivia).  Families will be put onto teams and will be able to discuss questions with their team in breakout rooms.  Children are welcome to join in (and teachers, you’re invited, too!).

Please RSVP here so you can be emailed the Zoom link before the event:

Hopefully see you there!

Today (Sunday, December 20th) is the last day to shop our online book fair and have 30% of the profits go back to Lincoln-Eliot — if you haven’t had a chance to check it out, here’s the link!:

https://www.childrensbookstore.com/welcome/lincoln-eliot-elementary-school/

After today, we’ll get 15% instead, but you can still shop the online fair  — so please feel free to bookmark the link and keep checking back for books you need, or to buy books for our wonderful teachers!

Thank you so much to everyone who’s purchased books and everyone who came to the Zoom storytimes, plus our awesome storytime readers!  We hope you have a safe, cozy, joyful winter break — happy reading, everyone!  🙂

There’s one more week to shop our online book fair and have 30% of the proceeds go to our support our school!

https://www.childrensbookstore.com/welcome/lincoln-eliot-elementary-school/

We’d especially love for you to check out our teachers’ wishlists and, if you can, send some extra appreciation their way in this challenging year.  You can find links to their wish lists right below the green intro text box on the site.  We recommend choosing the school’s address to ship to, under the teacher’s name.

(And if you’re looking for more book recommendations, our new librarian, Ms. Selwyn, has some great ones on our school library website:
https://elemlibraries.newton.k12.ma.us/lincoln_eliot_library)

Please email Tui at secretary@lepto.org if you have any questions!  Thank you for supporting our school, and happy reading!

Although we can’t have our usual in-school book fair this year (and we really miss you all!), we still wanted to celebrate reading and support our school library — so we have set up an online book fair through Children’s Book Store, and we’d love for everyone to visit our site!:

https://www.childrensbookstore.com/welcome/lincoln-eliot-elementary-school/

Make sure you check out the teacher and library wish lists — they’re right below the intro text.  (Clicking on “Wishlists” at the top will take you to a page to make your own wishlist — which you can do and send to friends and family, if you like!).  Also, if you scroll down the main site, you can find a book list of Principal Morrissey’s favorites and lists of recommendations from our wonderful new librarian, Ms. Selwyn!

All purchases will be shipped directly to your home, and for the next two weeks, 30% of the profit will go to our school.  (You can also continue shopping all year long; the rest of the year we get 15%!)  Children’s Book Store recommends shopping early and choosing “UPS” at checkout if you hope to receive your books by Christmas, but as with all shipping this year, they can’t make any guarantees.  But books are wonderful to get no matter when, right?

If you need some suggestions (or would like to share your favorite books!), don’t forget we have our L-E book recommendation Padlets:

K-2 Book Recommendations

3-5 Book Recommendations

And keep your eyes on your inbox for an invitation to a Zoom storytime hangout in the next couple of weeks!

Please let us know (at secretary@lepto.org) if you have any questions!  Happy reading!
