LEARWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL

It is hard to believe but we have already completed the first week of the 4th quarter. If you thought that the school year has gone by quick, the remainder of the school year will be even faster. In addition to the start of state testing after Spring Break, we will also have our last School Dance, the start of Spring Sports, 8th Grade Recognition and Field Trip, and music concerts coming up over the next 9 weeks. More information about the 8th Grade Recognition and Field Trip will be coming out soon.

All are welcome to the Strikes for Shoremen of Learwood bowling fundraiser April 21st at 1:00 pm! This will be a Scotch Doubles tournament in which two players form a team and alternate shots throughout the game. If player one bowls a strike, player two bowls first the next frame. If player one does not hit a strike, player two bowls the next ball to try and pick up the spare. Scotch Doubles is a popular format at local bowling clubs and is known for being fast-paced and exciting! The price is $40 per team of two and includes shoe rental, pizza and soft drinks (cash only please, payment at check-in). There will be lots of raffle baskets to bid on, a 50/50 raffle and prizes for highest and lowest scores! All proceeds support the Learwood PTA and the many programs PTA facilitates for students and staff members.

For questions and to register, please contact Shelly Collier via email shelly.L.collier@gmail.com or cell: (440) 552-6370. If you or your company would like to donate to our raffle baskets, please contact Katie McClain kmcclain811@gmail.com or cell: (440) 506-4807. We hope to see you April 21st!

Students presented ingenious ideas for their product to staff. The not only created the physical products, but also had to design a sales pitch to get their investors. Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking at its best!

It's time to celebrate our star studded Learwood staff during Staff Appreciation Week, May 6th - 10th, 2024. We would love your help in letting all the teachers and support staff know how much we appreciate ALL they do every day for our kiddos. Please plan to have all donated items dropped off to Learwood by Monday, May 6th (except for items for the dessert buffet on Wednesday, May 8th). If you are making a monetary donation, place it in an envelope marked Learwood Staff Appreciation, checks can be made payable to Learwood PTA. An online link is available to donate, but there is a small fee associated with funds collected through Givebacks.

If you have questions, please contact Alessia Lloyd at 440.637.3399 or lloydmomof3@yahoo.com. Thank you in advance for helping to make this a wonderful celebration of all these folks do all year.
