Thank you to all our families who came to visit us for both American Education Week and Parent Teacher Conferences. It was so nice to welcome you into our school. We hope that you have a wonderful long weekend with family and a Happy Thanksgiving.

2022-2023 School Calendar Change
The LTSD Board of Education recently approved a revised 2022-2023 School Calendar that reflects a date change. We will reopen schools after winter recess on January 3, 2023, instead of the previously planned January 2, 2023. To make this change, the “built in snow day” that was scheduled for May 26, 2023 will now be a full day of school. This change came about to correct an oversight regarding the observation of New Year’s Day as a legal holiday.
The schedule can be viewed here.
Important Dates & Spirit Days
Friday, December 2nd - Black Out Day, everyone wear black
Tuesday, December 6th- Picture Retakes
Friday, December 9th - Wildcat Spirit Day (wear t-shirts, yellow or blue)
Principal's Book Recommendation
A tradition in my family is getting up and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade together. "Balloons Over Broadway" is a great picture book about the history of the giant balloons we see each year.

PTA Announcements
The Lumberton PTA's annual Holiday Drive has started! Wish lists were sent home with your child last week. Please check your child's folder for this information. You can also access your child's wish list at any time here: Holiday Drive Wish Lists. The drive will end on Friday, December 9th. Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!
For those of you that are unfamiliar, this program helps to provide children in our community that are less fortunate with coats, clothes, food, and gifts from each child’s specific wish list. In 2021, we were able to help 55 Lumberton children from 25 different families; this could not have been done without your continued support.
