Message From the Principal
We want to give a big shout out to our LES cafeteria staff for the delicious Thanksgiving meal that they prepared for our students and staff! Everyone looks forward to this special meal every year -- can you imagine cooking a Thanksgiving feast for 700 people?!?!
Our November Compassion Project is Read to Feed. Please see the details below. In addition, we are collecting food to support the LIFE Food Pantry. Each classroom has been assigned an item and bins have been placed outside the rooms.
Next Tuesday, LaRosa's has been kind enough to partner with us for Dine & Donate -- have some pizza and support LES!
Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow in honor of Veterans Day. LES would like to extend our deep gratitude to all of our veterans and our active military personnel. We thank you for your service!!
Enjoy the weekend!

Celebrate Grandparents and Great Influences
Loveland City School District is launching a new effort to recognize the importance of grandparents and other older community members. “Grandparents and Great Influences” events will be taking place at all of our buildings during December. Each student will have an opportunity to spend time at school with a grandparent or another person who has been a great influence in their life.
We realize it may not be possible for “Grandparents and Great Influences” to be available for each student during our celebration. We’ll be working to make sure every student feels included and involved in this special day.
At LES, that special day will be on Friday, December 15th. Look for more details coming soon.
OUR LOST AND FOUND IS OVERFLOWING!!!
Please either come in or send your student to the office and check our lost and found. We will be donating items left during the Winter Break.
READ TO FEED
The students of LES are participating in a Read to Feed initiative for our November Compassion Project. During this project, the students will be reading to support the L.I.F.E food pantry. Each child will be given a reading log where they can have their reading minutes sponsored for two weeks in November. Every little bit counts so they could be sponsored for a penny a minute, a quarter a minute or a general amount at the end of 2 weeks. You can even have your child total the minutes using their favorite addition strategy. The reading logs will come home from your child’s teacher, and the intended dates for the reading are November 6th-November 19th (however, this can be adjusted to your family’s needs). Their reading log and donations are due by Tuesday, November 28th. All donations will be given to the L.I.F.E. food pantry to provide food for local Loveland families. Checks can be made out directly to the L.I.F.E. Food Pantry. Cash will be accepted, and you can also click on this link or following the QR code to make donations online!! What a great way to give back to others during this time of year! Thank you for your support in helping a wonderful cause!
Pass-It-On Food Drive
LCSD is in its 22nd year of partnering with the L.I.F.E. Food Pantry to fill Thanksgiving & Christmas baskets for at least 300 families right here in our own school district. This year’s drive will run Tuesday November 1st through Wednesday November 16th. Students can bring in their classrooms' designated donation item any time during these days. Thank you in advance for your generosity! Our efforts will help make wonderful holiday meals for some of our neighbors.
