LEWIS ELEMENTARY NEWS
February 18th
EVERY SCHOOL DAY COUNTS. “Did you know?" There are only 22 school days until spring break which starts on March 23rd. Please try to schedule any family vacations for that week so your child can attend school every day they are healthy. In 22 days, students can master multiplication facts, learn to write a multi-paragraph essay, figure out how to read 2-syllable words, and so much more. Best of all, students’ confidence in their learning gains momentum at this time of the school year. Consistent attendance is key to each student’s progress and success.
