Peace Week 2024

Once again we are integrating a service project into Peace Week. Lower Campus is partnering with Friends of Refugees in Clarkston. The organization’s mission states, “Help refugees build abundant new lives in America.” In order to accomplish this, one of their greatest needs currently is to replenish their stock pile of baby diapers and baby wipes. Therefore, we will collect unopened packages of baby diapers (any size, any brand) and baby wipes (any brand). Please send them in with your child(ren) tomorrow or Friday.

Thursday, October 31

We are permitting students to wear a costume to school tomorrow - Thursday, October 31, with the following guidelines. The costume must not contain a mask, props, loose articles, be gory or violent in nature, or have any other aspect that could disrupt the classroom learning environment. We know, of course, that many costumes come with additional items, just please leave them at home. Costumes are optional; students may wear their uniform or spirit wear instead.
