Week of October 4 - 8

Dear Parents and Students,

It is amazing how time flies! We are already beginning our 8th week of school.
Several things to keep in mind:

It is very important that you come to school on time. By doing this, you are not only taking full advantage of the teacher’s instruction but you are not interrupting other’s learning process.
The Seniors 2010-2011 are sponsoring the “ADOPT A TREE” activity. Let’s support them by buying a tree for LPS. 250 and you will be helping the Seniors, the school, and the environment.
