The PTO uses funds donated by you to help support Cultural Arts assemblies for your children throughout the school year. On Monday, March 21, they will enjoy The Brain Show! The Brain Show uses an interactive game show format to celebrate education and demonstrate that learning can be cool and fun!

Third-graders will be taking the CogAT test this Tuesday and Wednesday.

The Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) measures verbal, mathematical, analytical, and spatial reasoning skills, and is one of several criteria utilized for participation in our IDEAS program for academically-gifted learners. Please keep in mind that this is not an assessment for which children need to prepare or study.

LH Cares set up a special assembly for the first graders, who were visited by Ms. Anita Egan of The Seeing Eye in Morristown and her guide dog, Macy. The students learned all about the organization, what it does for the blind and what goes into the training of the guide dogs.

Over the next two weeks, the first graders will be promoting their cause by coming around to the classrooms and advertising on behalf of The Seeing Eye for their program called Pennies for Puppies; they will be in charge of collating donations and in-kind donations. Collection bins will be in each of the first grade classrooms through March 31.
