A message from Principal Villavaso

Hello Cardinal Families,

Happy Thursday! We had such a wonderful week of fun activities. It was wonderful to see all the students participating in the dress up days. I was so impressed with student behavior during the assemblies with the attention and focused students gave to our presenters. Way to go Cardinals.

Help us keep morning arrival safe by utilizing the car line to drop off students. Students should not be dropped off in the front and allowed to walk across the parking lot to the side or front entrance. This is a serious danger to student safety and adds to traffic congestion. We have arrival procedures in place to enhance efficiency and safety. Thank you for adhering to these procedures and modeling Citizenship.

Join us at the Cotton Patch on September 19th for our next Fundraiser. Present the Cotton Patch flyer in the newsletter to your server and Cotton Patcch will donate 20% of pre-tax sales back to LSC. Thank you in advance for supporting our campus.

As always, we are here to serve. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance.

Sincerely,

Principal Villavaso

Create a Culture of Reading

Opportunities to read exist all around us! Environmental print is the print we see daily in the form of logos and signs. Young children learn how to recognize this type of print first. As we spend time in the world daily, parents can encourage young readers to practice their reading skills by observing:

Street signs
Restaurant menus
Mail
Store signs
Billboards

Reading can be turned into games, such as an alphabet hunt while driving or shopping at the grocery store. Even watching TV can promote reading skills when parents turn on the closed captioning by allowing students to match the words they hear with the words they read.

How does your family promote a Culture of Reading in your home? Share with us on social media using #LifeLeadersRead.

LifeLeader

LifeLeader: Humility

When you are ready to lead, you have a willingness to serve the interest of others regardless of your own personal gain. You value what others say, listen well, speak kindly, and show gratitude. You are able to forgive others, admit when you do not know something, show confidence, and recognize the strengths in others. By doing these things, you are using the LifeLeader attribute, HUMILITY.
