Principal Update- 11/8

Dear LP Families,

On behalf of the entire LP staff, we'd like to take a moment to honor and thank the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Specifically, thank you to our very own Steve Crocetti (Head Custodian) and Dan Dubock (Kitchen Manager). Their courage, dedication, and sacrifice have helped shape the freedoms we enjoy today. We encourage students and families to reflect on the significance of this day as there will be no school Monday, November 11th in observance of Veteran's Day.

However, before our long weekend begins we have a great night ahead! Tonight is our PTA Roller Skating party in the LP gym. Session 1 will go from 6:00pm to 7:00pm and session 2 will go from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. Thank you to our amazing PTA for putting together such a fun community event!

Finally, a reminder that our Fall Fundraiser pick-up is tonight from 5:00pm to 7:00pm. All orders can be picked up in our cafeteria! See you soon.

I hope you have a wonderful long weekend!

Dr. Bello

Fall Fundraiser Pick Up: November 8th from 5PM to 7PM. All orders must be picked up in the cafeteria.

We are proud to announce our first Fall PTA event! On November 8th, we are holding a Roller Skating party for LP students. Given the small space (LP gym) and the anticipated interest, we are going to hold two different sessions so that we can accommodate our families. Session 1 will go from 6:00pm to 7:00pm and session 2 will go from 7:00pm to 8:00pm. Please choose a session time that works for you and RSVP as soon as possible. This event will be for LP students only, no siblings. We are looking forward to seeing you all there!
