Dear LPS Families,

It is hard to believe that we are wrapping up our school year. What a year it has been...we only have 10 days left! We would like to celebrate our year with some in-house field trip experiences much like last year.

During the last 3 full days of school, we will celebrate our school year with Summer Celebration! The students have worked so hard and it is time to celebrate their hard work. Each Summer Celebration day has a theme where students will participate in the themed activities such as field games, carnival rides and food, water and foam play, and much more! It promises to be a fun time of learning and celebration. Please make sure you have paid the in-house field trip cost so that all students can participate in the fun!

Thank you for all your support during this amazing school year! We are so thankful to have this time with our students.

The full payment for our in-house field trips for the school year was due March 31. All students have participated in the Fall Festival and the STEM Day regardless of payment status. However, students that do not make the full payment will not be able to participate in our Summer Celebration activities. We need the full $30 ASAP for every child to participate. If you are not sure how much you have paid up to this point, please check with your child's teacher. These are all great experiences and we do not want any of our PACK to miss out. Thank you for your support!
