"Reach the Beach" Field Day
Monday June 4 (Rain Date - Tuesday June 5)
Here are some important Field Day reminders:
- PLEASE dress your child in clothes and shoes that can get dirty and muddy! The fields behind our school are always wet and soppy.
- Please send with them extra set(s) of clothes/socks/shoes in a plastic bag. We will be unable to call home for changes of clothes throughout the day.
- Send a water bottle (marked with child’s name).
- Apply sunscreen at home before coming to school (we cannot apply at school).
Our PTA provides all students a picnic lunch on field day.
The cafeteria will still be open with a limited selection available for purchase.

Counselor News
Dearest Lewistown Families,
This is not an easy letter to write so I will get right to the point. I wanted to share that after 16 great years here at LES I have decided to retire at the end of this school year.
I have been very blessed to be a part of this wonderful school community, and the community at large. It has been a pleasure to work with such a dedicated staff and parents for the good of all our children.
I will continue to be a part of LES through various volunteer opportunities so I will not be far from this wonderful community.
I wish everyone a happy and relaxing summer. I will be sharing about my retirement with the students on Friday, June 1. Please feel free to reach out to me with any concerns.
I am very excited about the next part of my journey in life. You will be in good hands with the new school counselor.
With Much Love and Respect,
Ms. Greta Nettleton
LES School Counselor
