Thank you for considering the opportunities below to help families during the holiday season and for all of the ways you are generous throughout the year!
Christmas Sharing
This holiday season, we ask that you consider your wider neighborhood and community as you prepare and celebrate. Many in our midst feel the extra stress of wanting to prepare a special meal for their loved ones but cannot due to limited resources. As part of the annual Christmas Sharing program, we will be collecting nonperishable food items outside the Main Office from November 30th to December 4th. Please contact Mrs. Sorensen if you have any questions.
The Lowell Giving Tree
Thanks in advance for helping to make this a happy holiday season!
Save the Date: Lowell Winter Concert; Thursday, December 17
Lowell Eagles Learn: New posts galore!!!
Thank you for helping tell our story!

The deadline for a Parent to request PACE Testing is Thursday, January 14, 2016. Students currently attending a private school and/or home schooled, but reside in the District 200 Attendance Area, are also eligible for PACE Program Testing.
