Playground Update
So far we have raised nearly $30,000.00!
Winter Break Read-a-Thon
As you know, this year we are raising money to add a new playground to our school! Whether your child loves to read or needs an incentive to keep reading, this is the perfect opportunity to help us out! We will be holding a Read-A-Thon! Over winter break your child will be able to support our school AND keep those reading skills sharp! Win-Win! Your child will be asked to set a reading goal of 10 -30 minutes per day for 10 days. There are many ways reading can fit into your winter break plans. Your child can read while traveling, together with Grandparents or extended family, with hot chocolate on a chilly day, or just to enjoy a new book that was a gift. Just by reading, your child will help raise funds for our new playground! We can’t wait to hear about all the wonderful reading your child did over break. More information will be coming home soon about our Read-A-Thon. We appreciate your encouragement of reading and your support for our school!
Caught Reading!
Thank you for “catching” and sending pictures of your child reading outside of school! We love seeing their pictures and your children love seeing themselves and their friends on the ‘Caught Reading’ board. Feel free to snap a picture of your child reading outside of school throughout the December holidays! Your child may love to read by the tree, by the Menorah, in cozy winter PJs, or while eating holiday cookies! The holidays are the perfect time to enjoy a new book!
Email your picture to Nicolecc@leeschools.net. Please also include your child’s name, grade, and class. Your child’s picture will be featured on our “Caught Reading” display board at the entrance of our school and during the morning news. We appreciate your encouragement to foster a life-long love of reading!

A Note from the School Nurse
Please be reminded of the guidelines for medication administration at school
*It is highly recommended that all prescription and/or Over the Counter medications be given at home. If a student has an illness or chronic health condition that requires medications during school hours, guidelines must be followed:
*Both parent and doctor must sign the med administration form -the doctor’s written orders-- which is available in the school clinic.
*Medication, including refills, MUST be delivered to the clinic by the parent.
*Students MAY NOT transport meds.
*Meds must be in a pharmacy container, labeled with child’s name—ask the pharmacy to label a second bottle.
*Over the Counter medications must come to the clinic unopened, sealed—purchase smallest amount needed.
*All medication, unless picked up by the parent , will be discarded on the last day of school.
*Please remember new orders are needed for meds every school year. Please call the clinic if you need any med forms to be completed with your health care provider.
*And also:
Just a reminder that children who have reached the age of ten (10) are eligible to receive the Tdap immunization (*this shot will be required for your child to enter the 7th Grade) Also, if you have started the Gardisil/HPV series for your child, 3 shots are in the series, be sure to complete it if needed.
Why wait? Lee County Department of Health offers immunizations free of charge to children under the age of 18. Please call for an appointment and location first at 239-461-6100.
