LWJES will host a family picnic during lunch on Friday, October 21, 2022. All students will have lunch on the grass areas this day, and families are welcome to join students for the picnic. There will be one lunch period this day from 11:45 to 12:15 rather than the usual two lunches. Families may choose to bring in lunch for their child or students will be able to take a lunch from the lunch room for the picnic. All students and families are encouraged to bring a blanket or towel to sit on during the picnic.

The entry gate for families to join the event will be through the gate on the main field by the Battista auxiliary parking lot or through the gate on Mardon by the 4-square courts. We will open gates at about 11:35 a.m. All classes will join on grass areas and there will be signs around the for classes. Families with students in different classes can choose to eat together in one spot by a class.

The entire time will be set aside for dining. Students will have a recess at a different time. We request that there is no play or games during the picnic period. All students will stay on the grass area with their classes and families. At the end of the picnic, students will return to their classes by lining up at the dots while families depart through the gates.

While we anticipate good weather conditions, we may have to cancel the picnic in the event of inclement weather. We will do our best to make this notification as early as possible if this becomes necessary.
