Lower El Weekly Newsletter
04/04/2022 - 04/08/2022
Dear Parents/Guardians:
Pioneer Days (with fireworks over Crawford Reservoir) will be Sat., 6/11/22. We’ll be participating with a 5K run, a booth, & a float! Please consider volunteering in some form or another. This is a LOVELY, family-friendly event. They’re a little short on animal entries for the parade, so if you have a donkey, horse, cow, or yak, consider signing up! They have a fun, old-fashioned auction on the Friday night before (6/10), so consider donating to that (or attending… or both); proceeds go towards the fireworks display. For more details, please visit this site: www.crawfordpioneerdays.com.
Thank you, if you’ve been spreading the word about our program. We’ve had some wonderful families touring our school!
Thank you, those of you who sent snacks for 3rd graders (and other grades) taking CMAS tests. It was so appreciated!
