Knightly News for LBJ Families

Dear LBJ Families,

During the month of November we will be celebrating Thanksgiving and kindness. THANK YOU to all families that participated in the Book Character Pumpkin Contest. We had over 60 pumpkins entered and the kids loved seeing all the creative works of art. Thank you for helping make this a huge success! Knights love this school tradition.

Last week we also had many activities to celebrate Red Ribbon Week, thank you for your continued support to bring awareness to Just Say No! The Fall Festival was a huge success and we are very grateful to everyone who made this possible including the Permian Football Team, Vendors, LBJ PTA and Volunteers, and LBJ Families!

We are looking forward to many activities this month including Kindness Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving and much more. During this season of Thanksgiving, we would like to thank you for all you do for LBJ Elementary! We are very grateful for your generosity and continued support!
