Only Together, We Are TJES!
Hello Patriots!
What an amazing week we had at TJ! On Wednesday, we kicked off this year's whole school project which is Around the World in 80 Days! Be sure to ask your Patriot which continent their grade level is working on. Then of course, on Friday, we had another awesome MVP Day! To see the smiles on our Patriots' faces as they showed off their hard work for their MVPs was simply special.
Looking at the week ahead, 3rd Grade will head on a field trip on Tuesday, 3rd-5th grade will have a science assembly on Wednesday, and Kindergarten will start VALLs assessments on Friday. Next week brings the completion of Kindergarten VALLs, another day for our Patriots to work on their Around in the World in 80 Days projects, and the end of our first marking period.
We ask everyone to please limit the number of lunch visitors per Patriot (1 visitor per Patriot is preferable) on a single day so that everyone has enough space to enjoy their visit.
As you may know, each October, we celebrate #Kindness Month here at Louisa County Public Schools. We are excited to announce several different initiatives that we will be participating in this month.
First, we will be collecting Coins for Kindness from October 7th to October 18th, with all of the proceeds going to benefit the Louisa County Sheriff’s Office and its K-9 officers. Then, we will also be collecting Cans for Kindness from October 21st to the end of the month, with all proceeds going to the Louisa County Resource Council.
And finally, we are also accepting nominations for Everyday Heroes. These are individuals, groups, non-profits, and businesses from all across our community that never seek the spotlight, but are making a POSITIVE difference in the world around them.
To submit a nomination, just visit our division website (lcps.k12.va.us) and click the banner at the top of the page or click the image above. Everyone who is nominated will receive a kindness package courtesy of our students here at LCPS.
