I would like to remind you that there will be no school on Friday, October 18th or Monday, October 21st. If you are in need of childcare, Eagle's Nest will be open on both days from 7am-6pm. Please register online by going to https://stvrain.revtrak.net. Space is limited.
Hug and Go Lane
Please make sure that you are helping us keep traffic moving in the Hug and Go Lane. Remember the lane closest to the school is for drop off only. No parking is allowed in this lane in order to provide student safety while being dropped off.
Changing weather
Fall is officially here! Please make sure to double check the weather in the morning to dress your students accordingly.
Thanks!

Jog-A-Thon Update
Thank you to everyone, for making Jog-a-Thon a huge success! We had great weather, the kids had fun running, and we raised a lot of money to support Longmont Estates. Thanks to your support and encouragement, our students raised $20,914.54 for Longmont Estates!
We could not make it all happen without the hard work of our amazing volunteers and LEES staff. We really appreciate everyone who helped prepare for Jog-a-thon, helped the day of Jog-a-thon, and even helped clean-up.
Students should receive a letter showing their donation and prize level. If you still have your envelope and want to donate, drop it off at the office by Friday at noon. STEM time and the Party Bus will be happening soon. Prizes and shirts will go home on Friday, October 25th after the assembly. We reached our goal, so now Mrs. Haley’s fate will be decided by the top earning class!
Another BIG thanks goes out to our sponsors. This year every Longmont Estates student received a 2019 Jog-a-Thon t-shirt because of their support.
