Welcome Back! We hope everyone had a relaxing break.

A reminder that if you signed up for After-School Activities (ASAs), they start TOMORROW, Monday, April 18. You should have received an email regarding your specific class with more details about timing and pickup.

There's still time to donate to our Give and Give Back Fundraiser. We're trying to raise $30,000 to help fund various activities and assemblies for your children. Every donation counts, and they all add up!

Did You Know the PTO Funds...

Fun evening events like the Sweetheart Dance and Boys Night Out, both of which are coming up next month!

AND Circus Minimus, our Artist-in-Residence Program for 4th- and 5th-Graders, which starts this week!

Make your donation today. (And don't forget that many companies will match donations too -- that's FREE MONEY!) You can also send this link to family and friends to donate too.

For those of you with children in fourth and fifth grade, tomorrow, Monday, April 18, begins their two-week Artist-in-Residence program, CIRCUS MINIMUS.

Each class will be assigned a specific country, and in addition to learning about the cultural aspects of that country, they'll learn a circus act that relates to that country too!

This amazing experience culminates in a full circus performance on Friday, April 29. You won't want to miss it! But in the meantime, be sure to ask your child which country they are learning about!

Join us either Thursday night, April 21, at 7 pm via Zoom, or Friday morning, April 22, in person at 9 am as we get an update from our own Mr. Carlin about what's going on at school and what's coming up in the weeks and months ahead.

Look for the Zoom link later this week!

We hope you'll join us after school this Friday, April 22 for a school-wide backyard playdate starting at 3 pm.

Because it's also Earth Day, we're incorporating an Earth-Day cleanup into the event. Help us keep our playground and school grounds clean and trash free by picking up. We'll provide gloves and trash bags.

And speaking of Earth Day...

The GotSneakers campaign recap:

-- 8 bags of sneakers collected

-- 127 pairs of sneakers displaced from the landfill

-- 3,810 pounds of CO2 displacement

-- 286,639 gallons of water saved

Look at all the good we did for the environment as a team! Plus, L-H raised $63.50, which goes back to our school!
