Important Jamboree Update
With a little over one week to go, the Jamboree Committee is hard at work to make a great event for you, although we could use a little help.
- We are still in need of LOTS and LOTS of candy for the candy grams. Remember, you can donate full-size candy bars or the equivalent, such as packs of gum, airheads, jolly rancher sticks, granola bars, large fruit snack packs, etc. Please drop off your donation in the bin in the office.
- We could still use about 15 more bakers to make for the Bake sale and Sweet treats walk.
- VOLUNTEERS - In order to be able to offer all of our fun games and activities, we need everyone's help! Please sign up for at least one volunteer shift.
- DIRECTORY COVER CONTEST - Get your entries in by Friday, February 26th! We only have a few entries at this point, so the odds are in your favor!
Also just a reminder that all pre-sale ticket forms are due this Friday, February 26th. Please send those to school in your child's folder.
We look forward to seeing everyone next Friday, March 4th from 5:00-8:00 p.m.!!
Yearbook order forms are due Thursday, March 3! Be sure to order yours!
Lowell Chess Club Update
Congratulations to the following members of the Lowell Chess Team who represented Lowell at the Wheaton Christian Grammar School Chess Tournament on February 6th 2016:
- April Trotter

The kids were wonderful. It was an uphill battle with only two team members, but April and Alexander were eager to play and participate, and made Lowell proud with:
- April Trotter 3rd place - (Kindergarten category)

The kids were so excited and had a wonderful day. Thank you to April and Alexander for their bravery and perseverance. They deserved their big wins and did a fantastic job.

We are also in need of two additional co-chairs.
