 Dear LP Families,

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, I would like to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this important holiday. Memorial Day is a time to honor and remember the brave individuals who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. They help us remember the importance of service, sacrifice, and gratitude.

Please remember that school will be closed on Friday, May 22 and Monday, May 25 in observance of Memorial Day weekend. We look forward to welcoming students back refreshed and ready to finish the school year strong.

As we head into the final stretch of the school year, we are excited to bring some extra fun and school spirit to our days with our ABC Countdown to Summer! Beginning in late May and continuing through June, each school day will feature a themed activity tied to a letter of the alphabet. This is a wonderful way to celebrate learning, build community, and create lasting memories together. Check out the calendars below to see the exciting days ahead!

We hope these themed days bring excitement and joy to our classrooms as we celebrate all the hard work our students have put in this year.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. Wishing all of our families a safe, meaningful, and restful long weekend.

Warm regards,

Dr. Bello

As we look ahead to the coming summer, I’m excited to share some wonderful news about the improvements that will soon be taking shape here at LP. Thanks to our district’s Capital Improvement Project, our school will experience a season of transformation—one that will bring fresh energy, modern upgrades, and meaningful enhancements to the spaces our students use every day.

Although construction dates may shift, the work is tentatively planned for end of June through mid‑September. I’d like to give you a sense of what’s ahead, especially the changes that will have the biggest impact on our students and families.

❄️ Air Conditioning on the 3rd Floor

Our 3rd‑floor classrooms will receive full air conditioning for the first time! Students and staff will return to bright, cool, and comfortable learning spaces thanks to:

New air conditioning units

Brand‑new ceilings

Energy‑efficient LED lighting throughout

New flooring and cabinets in the classrooms

🏀 Complete Gymnasium Transformation (see picture below!)

Our gym will undergo a full renovation, giving students an entirely refreshed space for PE, assemblies, and indoor events. This is one of the most exciting upgrades, and we can’t wait for students to experience it next school year! This includes:

New flooring

Updated wall mats and fresh paint

New basketball hoops and a new dividing partition

New exterior doors

Air conditioning added to the gym for year‑round comfort

🌳 Outdoor Enhancements- Playground Safety Improvements

Decorative boulders will be added around the playground perimeter to create an attractive and effective barrier from nearby traffic.
