Light Farms Elementary
π A Note From The Principal
Welcome Back!
Amazing Light Farms Families,
It was wonderful seeing so many families on Friday, between our House Rallies and PTO's Boo Bash event. Huge shout out to our PTO for all the preparations that went into a fun and festive evening to connect our school. I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!
We are speedily heading toward November, which means we have our annual tribute to veterans, along with Grandparents and Special Friends Days fast approaching. Check the upcoming event dates to make sure you've got them on your calendar!
A few things:
- Light Farms Elementary is proud to celebrate our veteran family members. Thank you for your service, commitment, and sacrifice for the betterment of our country. Please fill out this form to submit photos for the Veteran's Day slideshow and/or RSVP for the breakfast event.
- A quick reminder - Parents that sign up to eat lunch with their child may only eat with their own child. Your child's friends may not join unless they have a parent present as well. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
That's all for now. Have a fantastic weekend, and we'll see you soon!
Warmly,
Principal Turner
