Upcoming Week in Review!
This is a time of year when we come together to give thanks. This Thursday, many of us will travel distances both long and short to share a meal and fellowship with friends and extended members of our families. It is important to remember that not all of our school community are fortunate enough to have this experience. Some are mourning the loss of loved ones or are struggling to put basic food items on the table. While Thanksgiving is the perfect opportunity for us to come together to give thanks for all that we have, it is also an opportunity for us to demonstrate how much we can support those who do not have as much as we have.
When we return from Thanksgiving Break, L.E.S. will kick off the "Osprey Tree" drive to fulfill wishes for families who need our community support during the holidays. Once we put up the tree, you are welcome to take a "wish" from the Tree, and help make a family's holiday through your generosity. Tree drive will begin on December 1st.
Lastly, as we gather with our families, remember that L.E.S. has in common great individuals and educators. We all want the best for our children, we all want our children to be safe, and we all want our children to come to school and be loved and engage in opportunities to grow academically and emotionally. We are One School, One Team, with similar hopes and dreams for our students.
This week, most of all, I give thanks for you, the ones who pour your heart and soul into doing what is best for our students. Happy Thanksgiving!
