Happy Holidays and New Year! No School, Winter Recess 12/21-1/5

Dear LP Families,

This will be our last newsletter of the 2024 calendar year. What's that saying? The days are long but the years are short! That being said, we have some really wonderful events coming up in the new year including concerts, our infamous Glow Dance, Play production, science fair and more!

On behalf of the entire LP staff community, we want to wish you a happy holiday season and new year. Thank you for continuing to partner with us to provide the very best educational experience we can offer. As a reminder, school will resume January 6th. We look forward to seeing the kids 'next year'!

Have a wonderful break!

Dr. Bello

The LP Reading Program challenges students to read 5-10 books each semester, we will have a celebration for students who have reached each milestons. Students will fill out a form for each book they read.

This week, we celebrated our students who read 10 or more books this semester! Students earned cotton candy, a movie, free book, and certificate. Special thanks to our sponsors Pencils and Papers for the books, Falanga's Cotton Candy, and Tim Hortons!

All students now have an opportunity to participate in our next Reading Challenge. The winter break would be an excellent time to get started on those books! Please enjoy some pictures below from our reading celebration.
