Letter from Our Principal
Dear LPS Families,
We have had another great week of learning! We appreciate your continued support as we help our students learn, grow, and lead. A huge congratulations to Vithula Karthikeyan! Vithula’s artwork was selected as a winner at the State Fair of Texas in her age category! Her two winning entries are Animal and Any Subject. We are so proud of her creativity and this wonderful accomplishment!
We have noticed an increase in students bringing blankets to school. As a reminder, blankets are not allowed at school for safety reasons. We recognize that our building can feel cold, so please encourage your child to bring a crewneck sweatshirt to stay warm. Please help us reinforce this expectation by making sure blankets stay at home.
We only have four school wake-ups left until Fall Break! Let’s finish this first nine weeks strong, making each day count. Thank you for partnering with us!
With Lion Heart and Strength of Mind,
Wendy Craft
Vithula's Animal Entry Winner
Vithula's Any Subject Entry Winner
