Porch Pop Ins
- One set will go to students NOT receiving a porch pop in asking them to check their mailboxes the end of July for a letter from the teacher.
- One set will go students that ARE receiving a porch pop in. The teacher can write in the date and time on the postcard that they will visit the home.
We will let you know when the postcards arrive.

Now Hiring Orange Ninjas
An orange ninja is a top secret LBES employee who takes on the responsibility of spreading happiness throughout the year for a specific group of staff members. You have to stay top secret ALL YEAR LONG. It doesn't have to cost money, but it can. Orange ninjas keep a pulse on their group and send positive messages, cards, candy, a cute meme from an anonymous email address, etc. throughout the year.
End in mind for orange ninjas: Spread the happy.
To apply: Let Erika know you're interested in being on this top secret team.
