I want to thank the 38 Gator participants who represented our school at the LPS Stride last weekend. I understand our Kaye girls are literally running gazelles! After running in the State cross country meet Saturday, then running for a soccer game, they also ran in the LPS Stride and finished with amazing times. Mr Graeber said all our gators represented us well and the LPS Foundation was able to meet their fundraising goal. Our teachers have received grants from the LPS Foundation for their classroom every year for decades. These fun events help us all.

If you haven’t heard, we are holding a Gator Nation election on November 5th! You can review our ballot by reading our “blue book”. This Blue Book link is for grades 6-8 and has ALL the ballot questions in it. Our K-2 students are voting on question #1. Our 3-5 students are voting on question #1 and #2 and our Middle School students are voting on all three ballot questions. These questions are a result of student surveys to the principal last quarter. I felt we could also have a great civics lesson by learning about and voting on our options for change that matters to our students. Student polling booths will be open during lunch recess and voting is 100% voluntary but the outcomes will affect us all! Voting is an important part of citizenship and we are proud of our Gator Nation. We’ll share election results on November 6th.

Today Middle School students are getting special middle school only spirit shirts! They will be allowed to wear them with uniform bottoms next Wednesday. Only middle school students can wear their new spirit shirts that day. These spirit shirts were brought to life by our students and funded by both Student Council and LASA! They wanted every middle school student to get a shirt to show middle school student spirit!

Picture retake day and picture day for those not photographed on September 12, 2024 will be on November 7, 2024.

If you would like a retake, please bring your packet to school on the 7th. We will not take a retake without a returned proof packet.

Any student that was absent on September 12, 2024 will also be photographed.

All ordering is online - please use picture ID code: EVTTF7Q9M
