Attention Vikings!

Lesher's National Junior Honor Society is leading a community effort to support the Food Bank of Larimer County this holiday season, and we need your help!

From November 11-20, bring non-perishable canned, boxed, or bagged food items (make sure they're not expired) and drop them off at the display near the front office.

The big day is November 21st, when we'll wrap up our collection and have the Turkey Roundup! On November 21st, bring in a frozen turkey, ham, chicken, or vegetarian alternative to the collection site by the bike racks. NJHS members will help load all donations for delivery to the Food Bank.

This is a great way for our Viking community to give back. Talk to your family about donating, and if you can't give food, consider making a card or sign to brighten the season for the Food Bank.

Let's make a difference together, Lesher!

Entrepreneurship Hygiene for the Homeless

We are trying to create and run a service project. Our service project is to assemble hygiene kits to give out to the homeless through an organization called Fort Collins Rescue mission. For this to happen we need donations. We need unused hygiene supplies such as gallon sized plastic bags, tissues, travel sized toothpaste and toothbrushes, body wipes, travel sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner, small soap bars, and granola bars. We request no sharp objects and please leave all donations in the original packaging. Leave your donations in the boxes by Mrs. Klitch’s desk. Don’t be afraid to ask her for help. The box will be cleared every week. Please come to the business fair on the December 9 as well! We will be there along with a place to donate. Thank you! 7th Grade Robin & Taness

Do you have clothes that are too big or don’t fit your style anymore? Drop them off in the donation bin in Mr. Mayer’s room, room 12!

We’re doing this because waste is getting out of hand and what takes up a lot of room in our landfills are things that can easily be reused. These include perfectly fine clothes, water bottles, backpacks, school supplies, lunch boxes, books, and shoes. We’re looking for USED items, NOT anything new. Clothes will either be remade into new clothes, or they will be donated. Everything else is going to be donated.

Things we will take: USED clothing (shirts, sweaters, jackets, pants, shorts, etc.), water bottles, backpacks (and other reusable bags like tote bags), school supplies (markers, pencils, erasers, rulers, pencil sharpeners, etc.), books, shoes

Things we will NOT take: Anything with stains, that is ripped/torn/broken, with mold or that is contaminated in some way, or fragile items such as glasses, cups, plates, and silverware.

Thank you!

In an effort to foster a culture of mutual respect, effective communication, and quality customer service, PSD has created a set of norms for staff, family/guardian, and community engagement. These norms aim to set a positive tone for interactions between staff and parents and community members, whether they happen in person, over the phone, or in writing.

The norms will be posted in all PSD schools and include expectations that:

• Calls or emails that are not emergencies will be acknowledged within three school days.

• Appointments between the parties involved will be established as a norm for addressing concerns or discussing important matters through direct communication.

• Appointments will take place as soon as reasonably possible. Adequate time is needed for preparation and research before an appointment.

• Communication will focus on collaboration and understanding – respectful language and non-confrontational behavior from all parties are expected.

• Boundaries between personal and professional life will be maintained, and sensitive matters will not be addressed in community settings.

It’s important for everyone in our schools and in our communities to feel welcome and engage in mutual respect to best serve students.

If you are interested in Morning Fresh Dairy, every new household sign up that mentions Lesher raises $25. Click here or ask Mr. Mayer (bmayer@psdschools.org) for more information.

Here is a link to our academic honesty police. Please take time as a family to read through this information and let us know if you have any questions! Thank you!

Academic Honesty Policy

Lesher students cannot carry any bag larger than a pencil case from class to class. Please keep all bookbags, backpacks, tote bags, purses, and other bags in your locker. We do this for two reasons: 1) Safety, we do not want students concealing prohibited items in large bags; 2) Space, we do not want to overcrowd the hallways with large bags. Thank you for your understanding!
