Dear Lesher Community,

You are cordially invited to a special Art Gala event coming up on February 21st from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at the Future Ready Center in the FootHills Mall. This event will be a celebration of the 8th grade Visual Arts students' artwork.

There will be a silent auction of our 8th grade students’ artwork that will raise funds for the PTO teacher grants. There will also be a few performances by some of our band and orchestra students. This event is a wonderful way to support our students and our teachers. It is a collaborative effort, being put together by the PTO, the 8th grade art students and the 8th grade entrepreneur students. Please join us on the 21st to help celebrate these students.

We are looking for volunteers to help with this event. If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation.

Please RSVP with the link below:

Lesher's Annual Art Gala is coming up!

Friday, February 21st
6:30-8:30 pm
The Future Ready Center @ the Foothills Mall

The Art Gala is a fun and beautiful way to celebrate Art at Lesher, and to support all of the teachers across departments with grants. This is our annual fundraiser to support teacher grants. We already have several grant applications in, and we want to be able to say "yes" to as many amazing Lesher Staff members as possible.

Please mark your calendars and come see and bid on some amazing artwork. There are three ways you can help make this event a success.

Attend: Come to the Gala (RSVP if you can), bring a fellow Lesher-Fan or Art-Lover and bid on some of the student art. You can bid on art and pay using cash, check or Venmo. Planning to come? You can RSVP here!

Volunteer: Can you help take payments at the event? Set up? Tear down? Please let us know if you can volunteer!

Give: Can you offer funds to purchase mock-tail and charcuterie fixings or make/buy a dessert for the event? Email: ameason1@gmail.com and let April know how you'd like to support financially or with a dessert.

I am looking forward to the event and we hope to see you there!

Our 6th graders are working hard on an interdisciplinary project that utilizes the UN Development Goals for an upcoming showcase night on Tuesday, March 11th from 3:00 – 4:00. We are in need of donations of 100 Trifold Presentation Boards (like the one shown below.) Color of the board does not matter. If you have a 6th grader at Lesher or access to extra trifold presentation boards and are able to send in one or more trifold presentation boards with your student or drop them off at the office, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

6th grade team

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.

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!
