From the Principal
March is Youth Art Month! Several LEES students have their artwork on display at the Smith House Gallery in downtown Harrisonburg. Please see the pictures below of artwork by Ben Gish, Silas Schaefer, Ezra Schaefer, and Ariya Tinnell. We are very proud of them!
Just a reminder about our yard and bake sale that will be held this Saturday, March 9, from 8:00 AM-12:00 PM in the LEES gym to benefit Johnathan Hasler. Here is additional information about the event:
"Raffle tickets for the Amish glider and Team Johnathan wristbands will be sold at the Yard and Bake Sale on March 9th in the LEES Gymnasium. We also had two additional items donated to be raffled off! Please see the picture below of two welcome signs that people can pay $2.00 a ticket for a chance to win. The winners of the raffle will be announced at NOON at the Yard and Bake Sale. You do not have to be present to win. All proceeds will benefit the Hasler Family. Questions: Contact Heather Kirkland, hkirkland@rockingham.k12.va.us or at 540-833-6916."
"The Yard and Bake Sale to benefit Johnathan Hasler will be held on Saturday, March 9th in the LEES Gym from 8 until Noon. Thank you to all families who have donated items! We hope to have a great turnout on Saturday!"
Starting Monday, March 18, we will unite as a whole school to read Disney’s The Jungle Book. Each class will read the book throughout the week. We will finish the story on Thursday just in time for the “Wild About Reading” Literacy Night. All students will attend our culminating event, a performance on Friday morning of The Jungle Book by The VA Repretory Theatre. We look forward to building a community of readers as everyone participates in this school-wide event.
Just a reminder about the PTO sponsored Paint Night fundraiser on April 9. There is a limit of 100 participants, so if you and your student would like to participate, please turn in the form and money by March 15!
It's that time for PreK and kindergarten registration for the 2024-2025 school year! If you have PreK or kindergarten age children at home, or know a family that does, please mark your calendar for March 13, from 9:00 AM-3:30 PM, and March 14, from 9:00 AM-6:00 PM to come to LEES to register your child. Please call the school at 540-833-6916, to make an appointment. Teachers would like to meet with the students while parents fill out information. We are excited to welcome our newest students to the LEES family! Our current PreK students will be receiving a snap code through email on March 6, to register for kindergarten for the 2024-2025 school year.
Also, for those families who are out of LEES district who request each year for their children to attend LEES due to childcare (ex: Lindale), there is a form that will need to be completed instead of writing a letter to the superintendent. The forms can be found on the RCPS website or families can click this link to access the forms. Student Transfer Requests. Please contact the school if you have any questions.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Ridder
