Art News from Mrs. Roche!
Thank you for considering the opportunities below to help families during the holiday season and for all of the ways you are generous throughout the year!
Christmas Sharing
This holiday season, we ask that you consider your wider neighborhood and community as you prepare and celebrate. Many in our midst feel the extra stress of wanting to prepare a special meal for their loved ones but cannot due to limited resources. As part of the annual Christmas Sharing program, we will be collecting nonperishable food items outside the Main Office from November 30th to December 4th. Please contact Mrs. Sorensen if you have any questions.
The Lowell Giving Tree
Thanks in advance for helping to make this a happy holiday season!

The kids were wonderful and had a blast. We were up against over 10 teams in both the Upper Primary(2nd-3rd grade), and Elementary(4th-5th grade) divisions. Lowell team demonstrated magnificent team work. Lowell held strong and had a very impressive day with an outstanding 3rd place team trophy. They all deserved their big day. They did a fantastic job!
