Dear LP Families,

We've had another great week here at LP. Our 5th grade students celebrated their 1,000th day of school (number of days they have attended school from Kindergarten through 5th grade!). Our 5th grade teachers organized a fun GLOW day for students to enjoy various activities. Check out some photos below!

LP also made the news this week! LP students, Levi, Kaelyn, and Ben were recognized for spreading acts of kindness to our staff in the form of a 'Teacher Party' and 'Bus Driver Appreciation Event'. You can see pics below and the news story here: https://www.rochesterfirst.com/generation-roc/generation-roc-east-irondequoit-students-hold-bus-driver-appreciation/

They did a wonderful job representing our school!

We are very proud of all of our students for showing care and empathy towards each other. This is one of many things that makes our school so special.

A final reminder that we will not have school next week in honor of February break. I hope you all have a safe and relaxing week.

Dr. Bello
