Lower School Update - October 28, 2019

Halloween

Halloween will be celebrated on Friday, November 1. Just a reminder that the preprimary parade will start at 10:00 in front of the LS office and the afternoon parade will start at 2:30.  All parents are asked to sit in the stands during the afternoon parade. Children will walk back to classrooms for their Halloween parties. Parents are welcome to join. Please remember that costumes should not be scary or violent-themed and students will change into costumes after lunch.

School Pictures

Ordering for school pictures will be a little different this year.  This week, you will receive a link through email and you will be able to place an order online.  

Intellectual Curiosity

The Lower School has had a great time focusing on intellectual curiosity for the last month.  Students have been asking questions, conducting research and initiating their own learning about a variety of topics.  If you’d like to continue to encourage intellectual curiosity at home, here is a list of books your young reader will love.   

Eagle’s Nest

Each week during our Eagle’s Nest on Monday mornings, two classes are awarded the “Golden G.”  Nominated by teachers, this class is chosen for exhibiting the Eagle Way around the school. This week, Ms. Julia’s class won for following the Eagle Way in the hallways and the classroom. The Green Club After School Activity won for showing curiosity and problem solving skills.
