Principal Update
Seabreeze

Dear LP Families,

It's hard to believe but it's already time to start thinking about our annual Seabreeze school trip! A letter should have gone home with each student last week. Here are a few key reminders:

*Our trip is planned for Monday, June 23rd

*Families are responsible for covering the cost of admission- $25 (If you have season passes, those can be used!)

*Bag lunches can be provided by the school- please make sure you check the correct box on the permission slip

*Permission forms and money (cash only) are due June 2nd.

*Please consider chaperoning, the more the merrier! The kids have more fun when the groups are small so we appreciate anyone who is able to join us that day. However, please note siblings are not allowed to attend the school event (9:30am to 1:30pm).

*Students are allowed to stay at the park beyond 1:30pm with an approved adult. A form will go home with that info soon. Otherwise, students will be expected to return to school at 1:30pm and be dismissed from school.

I hope you all enjoy the long weekend! Please note, we do not have school Monday, May 26th in honor of Memorial Day.

Dr. Bello
