DONATE YOUR ECLIPSE GLASSES!

We hope you safely enjoyed viewing the solar eclipse on Monday, April 8th. We have been informed of a wonderful opportunity to donate our used and undamaged solar eclipse glasses to a foundation that will provide glasses to school-aged children in Latin America for an eclipse that will take place on October 14, 2024. If you have eclipse glasses that you no longer need, please consider returning them to Lilja School. Your donation will help ensure that students in Latin America can safely observe this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. Thank you!

ATTENTION 4TH GRADE FAMILIES!

Step Up Day has been scheduled for the morning of June 4th! Our students will take a bus to Wilson Middle School with their teachers and support staff to tour the building, meet their new team members, and have their questions answered!

Additionally, please take a moment to review the 4th to 5th grade transition timeline of events here!

LOST & FOUND WILL BE DONATED!

Any items remaining in the Lilja Lost and Found will be donated over April Break. While teachers will be bringing classes by and reminding students to check, please consider stopping by to look for items that belong to your family!

Are you interested in supporting the Lilja community, but not sure where to start? Here are two ways to get involved:

- The Lilja Carnival Committee: The Lilja Carnival will be held on the last day of school (now 6/14 with the one snow day) and is our biggest fundraising event of the year! It is also a great community event that the kids look forward to as they kick off summer vacation. In the past, money raised has gone towards supporting school wide events and teachers' mini grant applications for their classroom. Carnival Committee involvement includes meetings/prep work prior to the event and participation day of.

- Yearbook: Are you interested in helping the Lilja community from the comfort of your own home? Shahnaz Islam, our amazing Yearbook Coordinator the last few years, is stepping down from this role after this year and we are searching for her replacement. She will provide guidance to get you off the ground and point you in the right direction to answer your questions.
