LenoxElementaryFamily Newsletter-May 2019
Greetings Families,


I wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude for all of the wonderful gestures of appreciation that were shown to all of our staff members last week during Teacher Appreciation Week. Each day we were gifted food, coffee, supplies, personal gifts, etc. We are fortunate to have such a supportive, kind, and caring community. Thank you!


We are nearing the end of the school year and we still have several family activities planned over the next few weeks. Please make sure to check the upcoming dates below so you don't miss out.


Sincerely,

Mrs. Gina McLain

A message from the American Heart Association

Thank you for your longstanding support of Jump Rope for Heart (Kids Heart Challenge) at Lenox. This year was the best year ever, with the school community raising $12,600 for AHA!!! With that amount raised, the school has raised over $50,000 for AHA in the lifetime of participation – so incredible and helps advance the mission of AHA greatly. A huge shout-out to Mr. Karlin for supporting this cause in his time at Lenox and promoting heart healthy activities for our community.

Are you attending Lenox next year?

If you know your current Kinder through 5th grade student will not be attending Lenox next school year, please let us know by filling out this quick survey. This helps us in a couple of ways: 1. make sure we can get your correct address for mailing important information over the summer such as report cards, 2. gives us information to help with equitable student placement in classrooms for the following school year. Thank you!

Cross walk and traffic flow during morning drop off

Here is a suggestion to ease the traffic flow in the morning during drop off. Our crossing guard looks for breaks in traffic to lower her flag and let students cross. If you are turning into the school parking lot, please put your blinker on about 100 ft. from the turn so that our crossing guard can see that you are turning and can easily stop traffic at that time to allow students to cross. If you don't put your blinker on or wait until you get to the turn, she assumes you are going straight. This just helps her have a more natural break for allowing students to cross. We appreciate your attention to this suggestion. Thank you!
