Lander Friday Newsletter
Friday, January 21st, 2022
Another great week here at Lander! Our students loved playing in the snow piles made from plowing our back playground, this was definitely a highlight of the week for many students. It's great to see students playing and enjoying being outdoors. Our students also reflected this week on the words of Dr. Marting Luther King Jr. Our Kindergarten students decorated their classroom walls with their own hopes and dreams, it is amazing to see our youngest learners grow so quickly.
Upcoming Dates Next Week:
Mon, Jan 31 - Fifth Grade Memo Upload and Payment Due
