The Lemon Crest ROAR
*Friday, October 17, 2025*
Dear Lemon Crest Families,
Safety First at Drop-Off and Pick-Up
We need everyone’s help to keep our students safe during drop-off and pick-up. Please remember to drive slowly, stay alert, and follow staff directions in the car lanes. Our team is working hard every day to make sure all children arrive and leave safely, but we can’t do it without your cooperation.
Most importantly, please treat our staff and other families with respect. A little patience and kindness go a long way toward keeping everyone safe and modeling the behavior we want our students to see.
We're halfway through one of our BUSIEST months of the year! Read on for information about Jog-a-Thon, Boo Grams, Red Ribbon Week and the Halloween Parade!
Jog-A-Thon
We are about halfway through our Jog-A-Thon fundraiser and have met 50% of our goal!!! We have raised $7,953 of our $15,000 goal!!! Mrs. Dennis and Ms. Brewer's classes are in first place for overall participation. 🥳 The class with the highest percentage of participation at the end will all get to attend the Slam Dunk Squad assembly! Donations are still being taken online and cash/check can be turned in at the school. Approximately 15% of all students have participated online. If each student raises at least $15, we will reach our goal!
If you haven't been able to access your student's personalized website, go to https://app.99pledges.com/fund/lemoncrest25 and search your students first name and last initial. Then it's easy to copy the link and share with family and friends.
The PTA also needs your student's T-shirt size! From your students' profile management page (sent to you in an email from 99 Pledges) there is an option to select a shirt size. Sizes are not guaranteed but this will make it easier for them to distribute shirts next week.
Here is all the information regarding the jog-a-thon: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18N7UMeVwyatD366ZgsAzZnzY2_qHcaIE/view?usp=drive_link
