Principal's Letter
Dear Lake Windward Families,
What a busy time of year! Friday night we had such a fun night watching a movie under the stars. The weather was beautiful, the concessions were delicious and the company was perfect! Thanks to our PTO for giving our school community the opportunity to get together and have some family fun!
We are right in the midst of our main fundraiser for the year- the LWE Fun Run! As I am sure you have seen in our prior communications, students are getting pledges for laps they will run on Friday (or a flat donation). The money our PTO raises will be used for outdoor and indoor instructional enhancements! Parents are welcome to come down to the field on Friday to cheer on your students as they run during their specials time. We have raised about $7,000 so far, and our goal is $20,000. Once you register on mybooster.com, please get friends and family to donate as well!
Remember this time last year when we fundraised for a media center makeover?!? Well, it is finally happening! Due to supply chain issues as well as some other hurdles, it has taken a little longer than we had hoped. However, right now, as I write this, our media center is being packed up by our wonderful staff and volunteers, so our brand new shelving, paint for the walls, and new furniture can be delivered. Thanks to your generous donations to our Fun Run last year, our media center is being transformed!! We cannot wait to invite you in to see it once it is finished!
Happy Halloween to those who will be celebrating tonight! Have fun and be safe!!
Warm regards,
Julie Morris

Seeking Volunteers to Join the Yearbook Crew!!!
Hello Gator families,
My name is Lindsey McIntosh, and I have been your LWE yearbook chair person for a number of years. This will be my last year as my youngest child is going on to middle school next year. It has been an absolute joy to capture and share memories of the school year with our LWE families and teachers each year. I truly believe that I found the most fun and rewarding way to volunteer for our great school. I would love to find some wonderful new volunteers
this year that would like to continue the tradition of creating a yearbook for our school. I will happily train everyone who is interested.
No experience is necessary, just a willingness to learn and have fun with this remarkable community of LWE Gators.
Here is what we’re looking for…
-Introverts AND extroverts - there is something for everyone here and as a card carrying member of the introvert club, I promise it’s safe!
-People who like to take photos OR want to learn to take better photos. The more the merrier! (*No fancy camera needed)
-People who enjoy page design or book design, OR want to learn. Literally anyone can do it!
-People who are friends of the people above, because everything is better with friends and anyone can do this!
Reach out via the email below to inquire or sign up!
Don’t be shy, we really need the help and I cannot wait to hear from you!
Lindsey McIntosh
