Monthly Memo from the Principal

It is almost the end of our first semester this school year and it has been a great one! So many fun things will be happening this month. Please be sure and read each weekly update from your teacher to stay in the loop about what is happening in class. Let us know if you are not receiving emails from our campus. We want to keep you all "in the know".

We thank each and every one of you on a PHEnomenal first semester. We have a few weeks to go, so keep up the great work.

This month we will be collecting items to help support our community. The following efforts are underway RIGHT NOW and we would LOVE your participation and donations:

• Blue Santa- donate new dolls, action figures, or other toys; accepted until December 10
• LISD Clothes Closet- Please consider checking out the Leander ISD PTA Clothes Closet website and donate the gift of time
• Please consider donating new socks and underwear (all sizes) to help support Nurse Heidi and the LISD Clothes Closet; accepting donations in the front office until December 15; we will have a box in the front foyer

Again, we are thankful for your children and what you all mean to our campus. Please let us know if we can support you or your family in any way.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year!
