Lamkin Lines
March 1, 2023
From the Principal
Dear Parents and Guardians,
February was a busy month at Lamkin with learning and fun activities. A few highlights include the PTO Sweetheart Dance, a successful food drive, 100th day of school fun, Valentine’s Day, Random Acts of Kindness Day projects, and our first Parent Academy STAAR Edition night for 3rd-5th grade parents.
“Spring has sprung” and March will bring warmer temperatures, Spring Break, fun school events and new learning opportunities.
Mark your calendars:
- March 3rd is Lamkin’s PTO FREE Movie Night.
o 5:30-8:30pm, on the lawn in the back of the building by the portables, please bring chairs and blankets to sit on
o Food trucks and concession stands will be available
o The movie begins at 6:45- The Bad Guys
- March 7th from 5:30-7:00pm Lamkin will host a “Safari Night” for all families. The event will include: book fair, student art exhibits with hands-on activities, gallery walk of Black History Month projects, and grade level learning activities will be supplied for you. **Please also visit the lost and found to find lost jackets.
- March 13-17- Have a fun and safe spring break!
Reminders:
- Please make sure that your child is at school daily unless they are ill. Strong daily attendance makes a tremendous impact on learning and being prepared for the next grade level. Daily instruction begins at 8:15 am. If you arrive after 8:15am, you will need to escort your child inside and sign he/she in.
- If you use the car rider line, please refrain from making a U-turn on Cypress North Houston to enter the line. Making a U-turn makes it unsafe for cars and buses. Please enter the car rider line without making a U-turn.
General Information:
- The character traits we will focus on for March are Patience and Courage. Please read the attached parent newsletter about courage.
Thank you for your continued support and involvement in your child’s education. We are #lamkinD!
Sincerely,
Jill Brister, Principal
