Lansing Elementary Weekly Update
Newsletter for the Lansing Elementary School Family
May 18, 2024
Dear Families,
We were busy this week with several activities and events. We completed our spring Fastbridge benchmark testing, and have made great gains!. We also had our kindergarten field trip to the zoo, our last third grade trip to the Royals Stadium, our last group of kindergarten classes attending the walking trip to Angel Falls, our PTA skate night, our first grade trip to Kennth Bernard Park, our second grade cook out, and our third grade cook out, our late start collaboration, our third grade tour of Lansing Intermediate School, and the 2024 graduates came to visit our school!
This week will be short! We have school on Monday and our third grade is going on a field trip to the zoo. Tuesday will be our last full day of school. Wednesday is an early release day. Students will all be released at 1:00. If you are missing any coats, sweaters, etc.. please arrange a time to visit our lost and found. Any items not claimed by Thursday, May 23 will be donated to a local charity.
We are having a great year! We have enjoyed watching our students learn and grow! We wish you a wonderful summer! If you are looking for summer activities, please check out the Sunflower Summer Program. This is a free opportunity for Kansas families: https://sunflowersummer.org/
