A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL BAME
Dear Laurel Park Families,
As we inch closer to Valentine's Day this Thursday, I would like to take a moment and thank you for allowing our school family to love and care for your children every day. We have days when our collective love for children teaches lessons, praises growth, and navigates change. No matter where our learning takes us, we appreciate being on this journey with your families. Wishing you all a happy Valentine's Day!
Last Week **** Laurel Park is a Wake Up and Read drop-off site!
Thousands of children in Wake County go to bed every night without a bedtime story. During the next few weeks, "WAKE Up and Read" will be collecting books for needy kids in our community. Laurel Park is supporting this effort with our own children's book drive. If you have books you can donate, they can be deposited in the collection bin in front of the library doors.

GET READY FOR THE KIDS HEART CHALLENGE.
ALSO KNOWN AS JUMP ROPE FOR HEART
Parents,
It’s time for your child to show heart! This year, we’re launching the Kids Heart Challenge. It’s your child’s chance to be a Heart Hero by learning about heart health, spreading the word and raising funds to save other children. Have your child go to heart.org/kidsheartchallenge so they can take one of the three challenges and email family and friends to ask for donations. Your child will earn a glow in the dark wristband just for registering online. When they get donations, they will receive Echo, Finn and a clasp.
Your child will be receiving information during their Physical Education classes over the next several weeks. Please look it over and help them collect donations if you would like too. We will start collecting on Wednesday, Jan 9, 2019 and end our collecting on Friday, Feb 15, 2019.
ALL CASH OR CHECK DONATIONS SHOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO SCHOOL AND TURNED INTO MR EDWARDS BEFORE Feb 15th. MR EDWARDS WILL BE NOTIFIED OF ALL ONLINE DONATIONS BY EMAIL.
Some prizes will be handed out during PE classes and others will have to be ordered and will be handed out 3-4 weeks after all donations have been turned in.
Thank you for supporting the physical and emotional well-being of our students and the American Heart Association.
Thank you, Mr. Edwards
