SOARing Eagle Newsletter

Dear Families,

At Longmont Estates, we know the crucial role that literacy skills play in students' overall success. Therefore, we will be participating in the MyOn Challenge over break, so please encourage your kids to log on!

During this winter season, I would like to celebrate the success of the first half of the school year. I am proud of the progress our students are making. Thank you for supporting your child at home and partnering with our staff. I hope you all have a wonderful and safe winter break.

Sincerely,
Traci Haley,

Principal

As a reminder, all gifts for the Giving Tree must be returned to the school no later than NOON, on Tuesday, December 19th. To make the process easier, we kindly ask that the gifts are wrapped and the ornament tag is securely taped to the outside of the package. Your generosity is greatly appreciated, and we thank you for being a part of our Giving Tree tradition!

We are very excited to announce that Longmont Estates Elementary will once again participate, with other schools in the district, in our Annual Food Drive. In the past we have collected close to 40,000 pounds of food district wide and we hope to exceed that number this year. LEE's annual food drive is December 1st-December 18th. All the food collected will benefit the Longmont OUR Center. There are many families in need in our area, and this food will benefit them. Please help out, if you can!!

The health office is in need of clothing, specifically sweatpants for boys and girls. If you happen to be cleaning out your closet and come across items that are too small for your child, please consider donating them to the Health Office. At this time we are unable to accept shoes or any outwear. Thank you!

St. Vrain Valley elementary schools and preschools are invited to participate in the District’s annual Winter Break Reading Challenge.

Participating schools will utilize the myOn reader program to record the number of minutes read by their students over Winter break.

Please here for more information.

Mark your calendars!!

This winter, students in grades K-5 will once again have an opportunity to create something that makes the world a better place, to create an innovation that makes things easier for others, and to share their ideas with a large audience. The Innovation Fair will be held on March 13th, during the school day, followed by a Family STEM Night that evening.

This is not your typical science fair. Students can choose between completing an engineering design challenge, a traditional science fair project, or a Genius Hour project. Forms will be sent home with students after winter break, but links are attached if you want to get a head start! Students will have a chance to get supplies, if needed, from the STEM lab on Working Wednesdays (Jan. 24th, Feb. 7th and 21st, and March 6th). When they turn in their interest forms, they will need to select the dates they want to attend Working Wednesdays. Attendance is not a requirement.

Project boards will be available for $3.00 and can be purchased from me directly. If you have questions, please email me at Shaffer_jessicca@svvsd.org.

Thanks for your support!

Mrs. Shaffer
