Happy Mother's Day!
Dear Leasure Families,
On this Mother’s Day, we take a moment to honor and celebrate the many forms of love, care, and guidance that shape the hearts of our children.
This day carries deep meaning—whether it brings celebration, reflection, remembrance, or quiet strength. At Leasure, we recognize and uplift mothers, grandmothers, aunts, guardians, caregivers, and all those who step into nurturing roles with unwavering love, patience, and compassion. Your presence in the lives of children is a true gift, and your impact is deeply felt throughout our school community.
We also hold space for those navigating this day with tender hearts—for those grieving the loss of a mother, longing for connection, or carrying complex emotions. Please know that you are seen, your journey is respected, and you are not alone.
To everyone who cares for children in both big and small ways: thank you. The love and support you give each day help build the warmth, strength, and spirit of our school family.
From all of us at Leasure Elementary, we wish you peace, joy, and meaningful moments of comfort and connection today and always. Happy Mother’s Day.
Thank You for Supporting Teacher Appreciation Week!
On behalf of our entire staff and the PTA, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your generous snack donations during Teacher Appreciation Week.
Your thoughtfulness and support brought smiles to our teachers and staff and reminded them just how valued and appreciated they are. The treats were a hit and truly helped make the week feel special!
We are so grateful to be part of such a caring and supportive school community. Thank you for partnering with us to celebrate the incredible work our educators do every day.
