Dolphin Blast
Week of March 10, 2024
LCM Families,
Thank you for joining in the LCM festivities this past week in honor of Read Across America! It is so important that students have a love for reading! It was so much fun to see smiling students everyday last week get creative with their dress-up days and especially joining together to celebrate reading during our annual Literacy Parade!
Dolphin Diner
Thank you 5th grade students who served our families at the Diner, and parents, and teachers for making our second Dolphin Diner Reading night a success. A HUGE shout out to Ms. Rapo for organizing the event, Stacy Brown for our beautifully designed menus, and Kiersten White for hosting a Writer's Workshop!
LCM Families- We hope you enjoyed your time together as a family ordering books to read. Hope to see you all next year!!
