Message from the Principal
Dear Lynnhaven families,
Last month, we were busy closing out the 3rd quarter. It is hard to believe that we only have one more quarter left in the school year! This month, we have focused on R-E-S-P-E-C-T...can you hear the song? Our students sure did dance and sing at our last Lions' League meeting.
Throughout the month, we discussed how to be respectful to one another and especially to adults. One way students can show respect is through etiquette such as removing hats and hoods from their heads while in the building. Another way we have asked students to show respect is by leaving their cell phones or other personal devices in their book bags throughout the day. Saying "please" and "thank you" in addition to waiting their turn to talk are all ways we want our students to show respect. Thank you for helping to support our efforts with teaching students various ways to show respect to one another.
Sincerely,
Teri Breaux
Welcome Mr. and Mrs. Sidone!
