The Leopard Letter

Lake Forest Families,

It’s beginning to feel festive around Lake Forest! 🎄

This week, our PTA will be hosting the Holiday Shop (also known as the Frosty Fair), where students will have the opportunity to shop for small gifts for family and friends. It’s always a fun and meaningful experience for students to choose items themselves. You’ll find more information and shopping time later in this newsletter.

We look forward to a joyful week together as we continue learning, celebrating, and spreading kindness across our school family. 💙

Wishing you well,

Julie Cooke
