The weather is cooler and let's pretend that the leaves are changing color. LOL! I am choosing to embrace this beautiful season of Fall. I am sure that you can tell, Fall is my favorite season. The school is alive with the energy of Fall sports and the musical notes from band.

Today, the first nine weeks of the school year have already come to a close. I want to take this opportunity to share some important protocols:

• Please follow ALL traffic flow maps. It is for the safety of your student. Students that are walkers should be using the cross walk and not walking through traffic. Please make sure that you are sharing this with your student.
• Please make sure that you have paid your school fees in My School Bucks.
• If you would like to serve, please make sure to complete the servant leader background form.
• School starts promptly at 8:00am. Students need to be in their seats. When a student is tardy, after the 3rd one they will be assigned a detention. Tardy guidelines are in the Parent - Student Handbook.
• Students should follow all Dress Code Requirements.

Thank you for entrusting us with the education of your children. It is a privilege and a responsibility that we take very seriously. Together, we can make this school year a memorable and rewarding experience for our students.

Dear Veterans and Families,

We are delighted to announce that Leadership Prep School will be hosting its annual Veteran's Day Celebration on Thursday, November 9, 2023, during our 7th and 8th MODS, which will take place from 2:26 PM to 4:30 PM in the LPS Gymnasium. This event promises to be a remarkable occasion filled with art, theatre, and musical performances, showcasing the exceptional talents of our students in honor of our veterans.

We are honored to extend our warm invitation to the local Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) chapter in Frisco, as well as a distinguished Armed Services Color Guard, who will hopefully be joining us for this special occasion. Furthermore, we are pleased to announce that our guest speaker for the event will be Mr. John Keating, the Mayor Pro Tem of Frisco.

We earnestly hope that you can join us for this significant event. If you, or a member of your family, have served in the United States Armed Services, we cordially invite you to attend and be recognized for your invaluable service and dedication to our nation. This celebration is open to all Veterans and their families, and we wholeheartedly encourage your participation.

Veterans Day holds profound significance for all of us, as it provides an opportunity to express our gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women. Your presence at this event would greatly enhance the spirit of this occasion.

We look forward to celebrating Veteran's Day with you on November 9, 2023, as we come together to honor and pay tribute to our nation's heroes.

Sincerely,

Dr. Michael Stone

Head Band Director
