Volunteer Spotlight
A BIG Cougar thank you to September’s volunteer of the month extraordinaire Karin Slazinksi, our Cougar Shop Chair! This is a huge task that requires excellent organization and COUNTLESS volunteer hours. Boxes and boxes and boxes of Cougar shirts invaded Karin's home this summer and her whole family helped with filling orders to make sure everything was ready for pickup the week before school. Thank you, Karin! We appreciate you so much and thank you for your service to our school.

Scarlett Chan- The Cope Team
LCE Dads Team
Dad’s Team is a way for Dad’s to be involved in helping the School and PTO. This is a great way to be involved with outdoor projects like when we landscaped the school or built the gardens. We’re some extra muscle for the PTO fundraising events & more. Also, this is a great way to network and stay up on community and school events and a way to show your kids you are involved in their school (which helps their performance)! We usually have meetings once a month at the local craft brewery or before events.
Come meet some new great friends as we all have- Michael Keavy has been heading it up for 7 years now. Please contact Michael at limestonedads@gmail.com and follow on twitter @DadsTeamLCE
