Leopard Tales: September 29th

Good afternoon Lowes Island Leopards!

I hope that you are enjoying your weekend! Thank you to everyone who came out to support our Laps for Lowes event on Thursday! We are so grateful that the weather turned for us! We have reached our first goal of raising over $10,000 (raised $12,000) but still have a ways to go to reach $30,000. You can still submit donations online and send them to school as well.

Just a reminder that our students do not have school on Thursday and Friday this week.

Enjoy the remainder of your weekend, and we look foward to seeing our Leopards tomorrow!

Your PROUD Principal,

Dr. Puschak kate.puschak@lcps.org

With the change in weather/seasons, we tend to see an increase in car traffic during arrival each morning. I wanted to provide you with some reminders to ensure we have a safe, smooth arrival each morning. The number one thing everyone needs to have during arrival is patience!

Please watch this video for further information on safety during arrival.
