Principal's Corner
Art at LA is the best! I was totally blown away by the quality of the art work our students in grade 4-8 produced with Mrs Baxter. She always brings creative ideas for our students to learn about the different art styles. We had over 300 people come to our Art Show this semester!
It has become a tradition to decorate our classroom doors for the Art Show and we are happy to announce that our “family favorite” door winners (yes, they tied) are Ms Iracheta in 5th grade and Mrs Jeppesen in Middle School ELA! Our “staff favorites” were Mrs Baxter, First Grade (Mrs Weeber, Ms. Allen and Mrs. Stephens), and the joint doors of Mrs Peterson and Ms. Weinberg. We give each winner a little extra money for their classroom budget!
I hope you all had a few extra minutes of rest this week due to our 2 hour weather delay. Please remember to drive safely on winter roads and watch for our walkers and bikers as you leave the area. As you are turning on to Mineral, stop before the crosswalk so students can safely walk in the crosswalk as they leave at the end of the day.
We want to give a BIG shout out to our lunch volunteer parents. Many come at regular intervals and are quickly becoming our dear friends. Help at lunch is so important to our day both inside and outside and our students love seeing their parents during the day. All our parents are automatically a member of LASA and our volunteer team. You support us in so many ways with your time, talents, and donations. Thank You!
