LPS Tiger Talk

Principal's Message
Dear LPS Families,
We had a great week at LPS. Our Valentine Parties on Wednesday went well thanks to all of our parent volunteers. We couldn't do it without you! It was awesome seeing our kiddos share their excitement exchanging cards and messages with their classmates. Some of our Tigers went all out with those Valentine Boxes and that was fun to see as well.
We also celebrated Random Acts of Kindness Week at LPS. We had members of the Kindness Club greeting students every morning and all students were encouraged to participate in a new kindness challenge each day (like helping out a friend or sitting with someone new at lunch). Our kiddos did great! We are blessed to work with terrific students and this week just highlighted how kind, caring, and cool our Tigers really are.
Finally, a quick reminder that our annual Magazine Sale is happening now and runs through March 1st. Thank you in advance to everyone who is able to help with our sale. We appreciate your continued support.
We hope you enjoy the long weekend with your family and we will see our Tigers on Tuesday.
Sincerely,
Kevin Fancher

Gifted Testing
The state of Ohio requires that school districts provide an identification procedure for gifted/talented students. However, per the Ohio Department of Education, school districts are not required to serve. Click HERE to learn more about how Loveland serves gifted students. Loveland offers full grade testing in second and fourth grades. All second graders are scheduled to test next week on Tuesday, February 20th and Wednesday February 21st. If you have any questions, please contact Darcie Chandler (School Counselor) at chandlda@lovelandschools.org.
Kindness Club Update
We had a great week celebrating Random Acts of Kindness! It was awesome to visit with classes this week and discuss ways to spread kindness in our school and community. We saw a lot of students and staff going above and beyond to spread cheer and joy to others this week. Thank you to members of the Kindness Club for starting this every morning as we welcomed Tigers into school! We hope that your families can continue to have conversations about and find ways to show kindness in your everyday lives. Also, we will continue to collect pop tabs through the end of February. Thank you to those of you who have already sent some in! Our collection is impressive.
Career Day 2024
Career Day at LPS is Friday, April 26th! We are looking for adults who have a career that they would like to share with our students in short mini presentations. Volunteers will present to 4 different classes in 20 minute sessions and will need to be at LPS from 12:45-3:30. If you do something that you think would be interesting to 1st and 2nd graders and be able to present in a fun and interactive way, please let your child's teacher know as soon as possible. Please include your name and career. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Darcie Chandler (School Counselor). Thank you!
