Dear Falls-Lenox Families,
Excitement has been high this week, and we have had a great first few days of school! It has been such a joy seeing all of our students' smiling faces! This week, students have been busy getting to know each other and learning routines and procedures throughout the building. We also had our first practice fire drill today.
Next week, students will participate in Student Engagement Assemblies where they will learn about our PBIS building-wide expectations (Be Safe, Be Responsible, Be Respectful, and Be Kind), and the various student club opportunities available at Falls-Lenox. Students will also participate in Bus Safety Assemblies.
Just a friendly reminder that breakfast and lunch are no longer free this year. If you would like to place money on your child's EZ Pay account, please visit www.ofcs.net and click on the EZ Pay tab on the left side of the page. If at any time you have questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact our main office at (440) 427-6400. We are looking forward to a great school year!
Thank you to all of our families for all of your support and for a great week!
Sincerely,
Ms. Lisa M. Williams
Falls-Lenox Principal

Beginning of the Year Book
Our beginning of the year book is "All Are Welcome" by Alexandra Penfold. Classroom teachers will be reading and discussing the book with students. This book is a rhythmic, colorful tour of the first day of school and all of the activities taking place. The pages are filled with diversity of all types, warmth, and an inclusive “all are welcome here” mantra. The book centers on the theme that school is a community where diversity is celebrated and people of all backgrounds, abilities, and appearances are welcome. One page has the text that is the theme of the book, "We’re part of a community. Our strength is our diversity." After listening to the story, students will be completing an activity aligned with the book. Look for pictures in an upcoming newsletter!
