LPS Tiger Talk

Principal's Message

Dear LPS Families,

Our LEPTA will host the Annual LPS Walk-a-thon (the main LEPTA fundraiser) next week! It’s not too late for our Tigers to add sponsors and help their classroom reach its goal. A couple of classrooms have already met their goal and earned the opportunity to see me get a pie in the face! Other classrooms are super close.

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to support our Tigers (and the Tigers at LECC & LES, too), I encourage you to take a look at the details provided by LEPTA and help us finish strong! The funds raised go directly toward student experiences and learning opportunities, including field trips, plays, and a visit from the Kona Ice Truck later this spring.

We appreciate all of our amazing families for supporting this fundraiser and the incredible work of our PTA. Your support makes a difference in the experiences we are able to provide for our students!

Have a wonderful weekend, and we will see our Tigers on Monday!

Sincerely,

Kevin Fancher

Social Thinking - Week 4

Mrs. Chandler and Mrs. Osborn (Speech/Language Pathologist) will be visiting all classrooms through the month of September to teach about Social Thinking with 1st and 2nd graders. Social Thinking is one aspect of our social emotional learning curriculum that we address here at LPS. These lessons focus on showing positive behaviors, being confident in their interactions with others and being problem solvers. We focused on following the group plan and knowing when to keep thoughts in our brain. Please see the attachment below for more information on these lessons. We encourage you to talk with your child about what they are learning! If you have any questions you can contact Darcie Chandler at chandlda@lovelandschools.org.
