PARCC End of Year Testing * Grades 3-5 * April 28 (ELA/Reading), 29 (Math) & 30 (Math)* 3 tests per grade
Next weekend is the 18th Annual Lowell 5k!
Everyone is invited to join us on Saturday May 2nd at 9am for the most anticipated Spring event! It's a time where we come together as a school community to raise money for the American Cancer Society, while we remember and honor our friends and family who have/had cancer. If you have not already registered, there is still time. The cost is $12 a person and includes a 2015 race shirt and goody bag. (But hurry as the shirt sizes are running low and will sell out by race day!) All participants on race day are also entered into our "raffle prize give away"! It is a morning you do not want to miss! For registration questions please contact Kelly Nielsen at kdnoe2002@yahoo.com
If walking or running isn't "your thing" please consider volunteering. We need people out on the course, cheering and keeping participants safe. If you are interested in volunteering please contact Courtney Henderson at mchenderson0618@comcast.net

Lowell Beautification Day is coming up! Mark your calendars for Friday, May 15 from 3:30-5:00!
We hope you can join your Lowell friends as we clean up the Lowell grounds and plant
Spring flowers and plants! There will be a limited amount of plants and perennials to be
planted. Water and snacks will be provided. Please bring children, scout troops and
neighbors!
Don't forget your gardening gloves, shovels, rakes, brooms, wheel barrows, and any other
gardening tools you might have. We would also love donations of Spring flowers to fill our
many pots and beds.
This year, we are very excited to partner with Wheaton Nursery on Roosevelt Road!
10% of your purchases during the weekend of May 1-3 will be donated to Lowell's
Beautification efforts.
See you at Lowell Beautification Day!!!!
