Dear Lytle Elementary Parents and Community,

Happy New Year! We are so excited to welcome everyone back to school and start a fresh semester together. Thank you for all the support and kindness you continue to show to our teachers and staff. It truly means so much to us and makes a big difference.

We have some fun events planned for this semester, and we hope to see you at them! We also know that some of our students will be showing animals in stock shows. If your child will be participating, please be sure to let their teacher and Miss Camps know the dates and which show they’ll be attending. Also, please remember that students showing animals must have passing grades of 70 or higher in all subjects to participate.

We’re also incredibly proud of our UIL contestants and winners! Our teams traveled to a competition on December 14th and brought back many medals. Congratulations to all who competed—you represented our school so well!

Thank you for all you do to support your child’s education. Let’s make this a fantastic semester!

Sincerely,

Wendy Carroll-Conover
