La Costa Meadows Elementary School
Weekly Dolphin Blast
Week of October 16, 2022
I hope that this week's newsletter finds you all doing well and enjoying the weekend. Last week was a busy week on campus with Parent Teacher Conferences taking place throughout the week. On behalf of our entire staff, we would like to thank our LCM Parents/Guardians for attending your child's conference. We hope that following your child's conference you were able to take some time with your student to celebrate their strengths and to discuss goals for the remainder of the year. We appreciate your partnership as we work together to support your child's success.
This week will be one filled with excitement as the beloved LCM Carnival is this coming weekend! We hope that every family will be able to squeeze in a visit to the Carnival this weekend as our students and families always have a wonderful time. The Carnival would not be possible without the many helping hands working tirelessly behind the scenes to make this event come to life. I'd like to give a huge shoutout to our Active Fundraising Chairs on the PTO as well as to all of the other volunteers for making this traditional LCM event happen. We appreciate you!
With Dolphin pride,
Mrs. Bedard

Hurricane Ian Service Project - Thank you!
The LCM Student Council would like to thank our LCM Community for their support and participation in last week's coin drive to support victims of Hurricane Ian. In total, our school raised $1,380! It is service projects like these that teach our students the importance of helping others and creating connections with those outside of our LCM community!
