Greetings Lenox Families/Saludos Familias Lenox
Welcome back and Happy New Year! We hope that you and your family had a safe and joyous Winter Break. I am so incredibly proud of our students, our staff, and our community and cannot wait to see all that we can accomplish together in this new year! This week we will be focusing on getting back into our classroom and school routines. I know it can be hard to return after two weeks off. Please help your scholar by making sure they are getting the proper amount of rest needed for the busy school week. Thank you for sharing your incredible students with us each and every day. We are grateful for your continued support and partnership.

Upcoming Event - Read Around Lenox Literacy Night Thursday, January 11th 5:30pm-7:00pm
We are so excited to be bringing back the Read Around Lenox Literacy event for the 2nd year in a row! This event is an opportunity to bring together our community and share a special connection through story. Books teach facts, inspire imagination, and start children on a lifetime of learning about themselves, others, and the world around them. Celebrating literacy and providing opportunities for students to experience adults as readers, families will be able to travel around our building and hear a variety of stories read aloud by teachers and special guests representing many themes. Parents must accompany students at all times. We hope to see you there!
Doors open at 5:15 - Event starts promptly at 5:30pm and concludes at 7:00pm
