Lester Park School Newsletter - #14
November 17, 2022
Hello Lester Park Families!
Well, winter definitely showed up this week! Please be sure to send your kiddos to school with everything they need to stay warm and dry at recess. Some classes also take an extra break outside, so there may be more than just recess where they will be out in the elements.
In case you missed our email from a couple of days ago...Students who want to play out on the field need to wear snow pants and boots. Thank you for understanding.
~ Tracy Thompson & Brianna Solberg, Your Friendly Faces at the Front Desk
