Principal Newsletter – March 31, 2023

Spring is a time of renewal and hope; the sun comes out and we can feel the possibilities. I’ve appreciated watching possibilities become projects in the past few weeks. It’s inspiring.

Ms. Jessica, our COVID support and lunch/playground supervisor, noticed the reader board was fuzzy and green in places it shouldn’t be and the next thing we knew she was scrubbing it clean and trimming the branches that were making it hard to read.

A Lawton student leader brainstormed the possibility of a movie night and now, with the help of our PTA, plans are moving forward for a community event on April 28th.

This is how the magic happens. People see a need and we work together as a community to meet it. Thank you for being part of our team!

Wanted:

  • Caught Reading Photos. We will be celebrating literacy in April and would love your help with our “Caught Reading” hallway display. Please email photos of your student(s) reading to kmcerise.
  • Tissues and Wipes. Our classrooms are burning through spring allergy and spring-cleaning supplies. If you have Kleenex or wipes to donate, we’d love to have them!

Is it time to update your volunteer paperwork?

We have lots of spring and end-of-the-year volunteer needs (e.g., move-a-thon, field trips, field day). Please take time today to make sure your volunteer approvals are up to date. lawton to check.
