Hello Lopez Families,
Friday we held a Veterans Day assembly as well as an appreciation breakfast. I am so glad Lopez Middle School was able to put on such a quality dedication to the service members who have sacrificed so much. It is always one the highlights of our year.
As of Friday, students contributed 476 items to the Nimitz Food Pantry. Thank you for your participation!
Don’t forget to log your PVSA service hours at presidentialserviceawards.gov

Also on Friday, the Lopez band filled in for the Reagan band at a football playoff game. The Reagan band was competing in a competition and was not able to attend. Brenda Shelton, Principal at Reagan, called and asked if we would be interested in filling in for them and we jumped at the chance. As always, our band was remarkable. We thank them for all of their hard work!
Recently we had to stop students from eating outside during lunch. With all of the food and drink spills and trash left out, the concourse was becoming an eye sore and attracting a lot of bees. They can still go outside during lunch but only after they have finished their meals. I have already seen an improvement in how the school looks. The kids have taken to it well so I thank them for their understanding.
I have been noticing a back-up at the light leaving the parent pick-up/drop-off lot. I had one of the district safety coordinators come out to assess and he noticed an issue with the timing of the lights. He called the city to hopefully get some improvements.
Thank you for all you do,
Eric Wernli
Principal

Service Hours
Lopez families,
Lopez Panthers should be tracking their service hours. The hours should be tracked in their Leader in Me binder on the service hour log page. They may also track their hours for the PVSA awards website. This consists of time they spend in any type of volunteer role - at school or on their own. This will help them reach their personal goal and will help Lopez complete their school-wide important goal of 10,000 service hours this year.
Instructions on how to enter your service hours can be found at: https://snapguide.com/guides/log-presidents-volunteer-service-award-hours/.
The site for actually putting in your hours is: http://presidentialserviceawards.gov.
Send us a picture of your child in his/her service role and we will display it on a celebrations wall! mvolz@neisd.net or ftobac@neisd.net
We can't wait to see the great ways our Lopez Panthers Serve!
