Parents, if you have signed up to attend our Thanksgiving lunch on Tuesday you must bring your driver’s license and be on your child’s information sheet to attend. PTO will be hosting a Skate Night at the Roll-a-Bout on Tuesday, November 25 from 5:30PM-7:30PM. The cost is $8.00 which includes skate rental. Please remember that students must be accompanied by an adult to attend. Thanksgiving Break will begin on Wednesday, November 27. There will be no school for students Wednesday-Friday. Students will return to school on Monday, December 2. **Due to the increasing numbers on our Boys and Girls Club bus, starting on Monday, November 25th, bus #33 will be split into two loads. This is to ensure student safety while transporting form one location to another. One load will leave LSE at dismissal and take a group of these students to the Boys and Girls Club. Then this bus will return back to LSE to pick up the second load of students to go to the Boys and Girls Club. Siblings will be grouped together on the same load. This only will affect the departure time from LSE for some of these students. If you have questions, please reach out to Mrs. Wall.** We are looking forward to another amazing week!
