Memorial Day Observance
Each year Lothrop Learners recognize Memorial Day and our country's fallen heroes with an assembly, poetry and a visit to the cemtary next door to lay some flowers. If you have access to flowers in your yard we welcome a handful of lilacs or a couple of cut flowers. We begin our observance in the cemetary, lay flowers and then return to the gym for the remainder of our assembly.
Cognia Celebration
Lothrop Learners and teachers knocked Cognia out of the park! We are finished with math and ELA and have only one learner who needs to finish a particular part of a test. With all of the bad press surrounding Cognia, I appreciated the "We will figure it out" approach from the staff, which in turn supported out learners. Hardly any hitches at all!
A huge shout out to families for working around Cognia test, it was a huge help and will allow us to return to regular learning faster. When test results are available, we will get them out to you.
Thank you!
Staff Appreciation Week
We are extremely grateful for the many things that you do for us and for our learners!
Friday Morning Meeting and OV Alum-Perseverence
1-2 Concert in Outdoor Classroom
Lothrop held its first every performance in the new outdoor classroom! The theme of the concert was "Play Ball" as our performers occupied the amphitheater seating over looking our new ballfield. It was truly a wonderful night. A good time to thank the many hours or work and equipment use donated by Reg Charbonneau and the stone for the base and to finish the project from the Chmielewski's. It is absolutely beautiful and ties in nicely with out walking path.
Breakfast Social-Formally Grandfriend's Tea
We are excited to have families and friends in the building again this spring for a Breakfast Social. If you have a family member of friend who is attending, please let them know that they will need to sign in when they arrive to the cafeteria and let staff know when they go to the main building who they are going to see. This is all to support our procedures of knowing who is in the school at all times.
Looking forward to it!
