Panther Post
October 9th - October 14th
Hello Lopez Families,
We are getting close to our fall festival on October 20th, which is followed by our first dance. Please see the fliers below for information. The festival is always a ton of fun so I hope everyone is able to attend.
You might also want to check out the boys basketball team shop below for some great athletic gear. There are some really nice items to choose from.
Have a 6th grader that's a little lost and could use some help? Read below about how our PALS program might be of some help. Our PALS students do an incredible job!
We are on our way to our goal for fundraising with the Panther Challenge but still have a long way to go. We could especially use some more corporate sponsors. If you know any that would like to donate and get their company logo on our shirt or banner, please send them the form below. It can also be found on our web site.
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Mr. Wernli

PALS
The Lopez Junior Peer Assistance and Leadership (Jr. PALS) is a program in which our Lopez PALS are trained to work as helpers with 6th grade students (PALee). One of the goals of the PALS is to assist younger students with academic and social concerns, and to help them have a positive and productive experience here at Lopez. The PAL students can play a very valuable role in helping our 6th grade students meet the challenges and decisions they face as they go through school.
The Lopez Jr. PALS will be working with interested 6th grade students (PALee), students recommended by teachers, administrators, counselors, and parent requests.
If you have a 6th grader that you feel would benefit from working with a Lopez PAL please send me the child's name and why you would recommend him/her to be a 6th grade PALee. I will then touch base with you to discuss the needs of your child in more detail or I will send home a permission form to be signed. If you have a name to submit, please e-mail by Wednesday, October 11th - mvolz@neisd.net.
If you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,
Melissa Volz
PALS Teacher
