Thank you for the party donations!

We had a full grade celebration this afternoon, and the students were fantastic. Thank you to everyone who donated something! 

Fundraiser & plans for tomorrow

Fundraiser
As you may have heard, Yankee Candle has experienced a difficult time filling holiday orders. This had a big impact on our fundraiser customers. We were told that Yankee Candle is working to fill backorders as quickly as they can. Unfortunately, we don't have any further information at this time.

Plans for Friday
In the morning, students who are up-to-date in Powerschool  - and who returned the permission slip - will be watching The Giver movie as part of our Dystopian literature unit. Those students who need extra time to work on overdue assignments will be working in a small group with an adult during that time.

In the short afternoon, we will have a learning community holiday celebration. Thank you to those families who are sending something in! Please remember our nut policy when sending in any foods.

Thank you,
Abby Lanfear

Plans for Friday

On Friday morning, we will have a celebration for those students who are current with their assignments in Powerschool. At that time, students who owe assignments will be working with teachers and staff, in an effort to catch up. Please check your child's progress in Powerschool for more detailed information about individual assignments and scores.

On Friday afternoon, our entire learning community will have a PBiS celebration during our shortened core time. Thank you to those students/families who have volunteered to send in food.

Have a great week.

Operation Happiness Food Drive Update

As a school, we donated almost 650 non-perishable food items for Operation Happiness! Thank you all for giving to this worthy cause. Today, the Operation Happiness volunteers told us that the local schools are the largest contributors to this effort. They really appreciate our involvement.

A special thank you to all the Lanfear & Howrigan LC students who did so much to make this happen. They hung posters, counted items daily, maintained a bar graph, and delivered food today. 

Operation Happiness update

Our school total is hovering around 600 items. While that's impressive, we were over 1,000 last year. The 8th grade is currently in 4th place. Not bad, but I bet we could do better. 

Students will have one more day to bring in items. The competition is extremely close! Our final collection day will be TOMORROW.

Please donate for Giving Tuesday!

Only two days left for our food drive! Here's the current status. We would love to have the 8th grade celebrate a come-from-behind win!
