LABS LATELY FAMILY MESSAGE

A special thank you to all who donated to our Food Drive. In just one week, we collected over 2400 items which turned into 1,370lbs of donations! The Cupboard was thrilled but now it's time for a little more fun. 6 students will be choosing which staff member they will pie.

Our hearts go out to all of those affected by Hurricane Helene. The PTA in collaboration with the school is discussing ways to help support this relief effort.

This week, our P2 character trait is being present. Please access the links to view information pertaining to this character trait and chat with your child this week!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. During the month of October, students will be exposed to classroom lessons provided by our school counselors, Ms. Rackley, Ms. Jesinkey, and Ms. Wells, around this topic. Mrs. Clark, Principal and Ms. Rackley are concluding lessons this week with our amazing 5th grade students! In addition, we encourage all of our LABS to wear ORANGE to recognize Unity Day by wearing orange on October 16th.

Ms. Rackley, one of our school counselors sent a Talking Points message to all families on Thursday on behalf of our Student Services Team to offer resources to your students and/or family by way of two surveys. If you would like to be put on the list for community resources to help with family needs, fill out the survey below. If you would like help and/or resources for the emotional well being of your child, fill out the 2nd survey below.

October is Boosterthon month and our Fun Run is on Halloween!!! We are so excited to be partnering again with this organization and look forward to your support in making this the best year ever!!! This is our only real fundraiser (no selling candy bars or magazines!) and the funds we raise allow us to provide access to many cool technology resources like Freckle, Story Works, and Positivity Project! Please consider logging on and sharing with your friend and families! We are sending home information soon so parents/family members can log on and get started. To help us get started, head to MyBooster.com today to get your student signed up.

This year, we want all families to come out and be a part of this special event and cheer on your child.
