Dear Families,

A few reminders from previous weeks:
This year, Watertown Savings Bank has set aside $75,000 to distribute to non-profits through the Customer Choice Awards. The program provides customers with the opportunity to influence how the bank distributes funds in the community. Last year, our community voted, and Lincoln-Eliot was awarded $2,099! If you have any type of account with Watertown Savings Bank, you can cast a vote! Every customer may vote once. Voting is open until December 31, 2017. Please go to Customer Choice to vote online, or visit a branch to cast your ballot for Lincoln Eliot!
Dogs are not allowed on school property but we have come up with a plan that should work for all. If you choose to walk your dog to school at arrival and dismissal times, you and your dog must wait by the Flagpole on the corner of Pearl St and Jackson Rd. Make sure to inform your child’s teacher that you give permission for your child to walk to the Flagpole area on his/her own. It is imperative that you talk with your child to create a plan in case you are late. Make sure to communicate that plan to your child’s teacher.

Volunteers needed!!!
The L-E PTO is planning to hold an online auction this year that will span for approximately one week in February (8th – 16th). We need help now with soliciting from vendors, friends and family for donations.
Funds raised will benefit our Playground Renovation plans. Due to all the safety concerns surrounding the playground equipment our children play on every day, we are attempting to renew them and add certain items to make it more accessible for the younger children (e.g., lower basketball hoops). Our calculated expense to do minimal improvements is $9K. However, if we can raise more funds, we will certainly invest more as it is more than just a playground the students play in, but also a community park for the children in the Newton area.
If anyone can spare a few hours to assist with this effort, please contact Cindy at cindy_chan@msn.com for more information. Thank you!!!
The school-wide group called FORJ (Families Organizing for Racial Justice) will be holding another meeting of a new initiative for Newton parents and guardians who want to get involved in talking about race, culture, and identity and working for greater racial justice in our schools.
The meeting will be held Thursday, December 14th 7:30-9pm at Mason-Rice Elementary School. Everyone is welcome, even if you were not able to come to the initial meetings this fall.
This meeting will offer parents and guardians from the Lincoln-Eliot community an opportunity to meet with others who want to work together strengthen our community and to increase conversations about race and racism in our society.

We’re looking for volunteers to help coordinate our playground improvements.
In last year’s survey, parents and staff voted on the playground as one of the areas we should focus our fundraising efforts. We’re hoping to make some small improvements this year, but we need your help! Please email president@lepto.org if you’re interested or want to find out more.
Dear Families,
November is National Diabetes Month
On January 19, 2003, Jordan Weiss, a fourth grade student at Mason-Rice School in Newton, Massachusetts passed away in his sleep from complications of undiagnosed diabetes.
To honor Jordan’s memory, the JBW Fund was established by his family, friends and community to foster awareness and education of the warning signs of diabetes. Sometimes the signs are obvious and sometimes the signs are subtle, limited and attributed to another illness. The latter was the case for Jordan.
Become familiar with the warning signs of diabetes
Knowledge is an important weapon against this disease and its complications.
Warning Signs of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes:
These symptoms can occur suddenly and must receive immediate medical attention.
Type 2 Diabetes:
These symptoms occur gradually and must receive immediate medical attention.
Many of these symptoms can be related to illnesses that are not associated with diabetes. This should be discussed with a health care provider.
For more information, talk to your school nurse or visit:
www.cdc.gov/diabetes or www.jdrf.org
