Lansing Elementary Weekly Update
Newsletter for the Lansing Elementary School Family
January 20, 2024
Dear Families,
We had a shorter week, but we were busy! Monday was a holiday, Tuesday was a snow day, we had Body Venture at our school on Wednesday and Thursday and our monthly PTA meeting on Thursday night. A huge thank you to all our families, local organizations and community members who came out to support us during Body Venture! We received support from the JROTC, Kiwanis Club, our K-5 PTA, our LES Site Council, and family and staff volunteers. We also had community volunteers, parents and guardians, staff, and nursing and education students and instructors from the University of Saint Mary serve as presenters at the different body stations. This involved over 70 volunteers coming together to support our school. Thank you for your support!
This week we have the rescheduled Mini-cheer practice on Wednesday and Thursday after school. Students can be picked up from door 17 at 5:15 and the Mini-cheer performance is at LHS on Friday. Performers must arrive at the high school by 6:20. Please reach out to Amber.Bolin@usd469.net for any questions about Mini-cheer. We also have our Thursday late start this week, our monthly LES Site Council Meeting and the deadline to enroll in BIST parent training. Please see more information below about registering for free, online BIST parent training. This Friday, we also have our January PRIDE assembly over the Integrity character trait.
A few reminders:
Family Events & PTA: Our next Parent-Teacher Association meeting is February 22nd. Doors open at 6:00 and the meeting starts at 6:30pm.
Site Council: Our next Site Council Meeting is January 25th from 4-5pm.
If your students are in need of winter clothing, please reach out to our counselors Christine.Bachtel@usd469.net and/or Tami.Scrivo@usd469.net
Have a wonderful week!
