Lions Lines - March 29, 2019
End of Year Party Input
Parents, we would like your input on the schedule for our end-of-year parties. Parent participation is important to us and we LOVE having you attend our events. One of the challenges, however, in having parents attend school-wide events is the transition time needed for check in/out of visitors and students, as well as the time needed to safely clear the parking areas between events.
Due to this transition time needed, we are only able to have 30 minutes for each grade-level party. When we don't have parent visitors, the student parties can be 55 minutes. Please take a moment to read and select the option that you prefer for our Lions. Please know that if we do not have parent visitors at the End-of-Year Party, there will be volunteer opportunities available.
The format for the End-of-Year Party will be an outdoor party with various stations that include games and activities, a DJ and bounce houses.
