Power of Perception
BIG IDEA: No one can make you angry without your permission.
GOAL: To teach adults and children to take responsibility for our own upset.
April 4th Levy Transfer Voting
Levy transfers are commonly used, no tax rate increase approaches that allow municipalities to responsibly address changing needs without increasing the overall tax rate.
LSR7 is asking voters permission to reallocate the funds it is collecting through the current overall property tax rate by shifting 20 cents from the debt service levy to the general operating levy.

The purpose of the Week of the Young Child® is to focus public attention on the needs of young children and their families and to recognize the early childhood programs and services that meet those needs.
Week of the Young Child Activities
Music Monday is more than singing and dancing, it’s a way to encourage children to be active while developing their early literacy skills and having fun with friends and family!
Tasty Tuesday isn’t just about eating your favorite snacks together. It’s also about cooking together and connecting math with literacy skills and science while introducing ways to incorporate healthy habits into children’s lifestyles.
Work Together Wednesday: When children build together they experience teamwork and develop their social and early literacy skills. Grab some materials and create
Artsy Thursday: Children develop creativity, social skills, and fine muscles with open-ended art projects that let them make choices, use their imaginations, and create with their hands.
Family Friday: Parents and families are children’s first teachers. Family Friday focuses on engaging families to support our youngest learners.
