Dear Falls-Lenox Families,

It's been a festive week at Falls-Lenox with our Winter Spirit Week, a visit from the High School American Sign Language students, a special guest reader for Polar Express Day, a delicious staff holiday luncheon courtesy of PTA, and carolers from the High School helping to get us in the holiday spirit!  Also, a special thank you to all of our families who donated socks, hats, and gloves. Please scroll down to see pictures from the week!  

There is no school Monday December 19th - January 2nd.  School will resume on Tuesday, January 3rd.  Please click HERE for the new lunch menus.  I hope that everyone has a safe, happy, and healthy holiday season. Thank you for your continued support and for sharing you children with us each day!  Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!  

The Helping Hands Club will be hosting its annual Holiday Party on Saturday, December 17th from 9:00-11:00 a.m. in the Middle School Cafeteria. More information can be found in the flier linked below.

I encourage you to check out the "Community Connections" section of this newsletter located on the left side of the page. We recently added a flier about Basketball Mini Cheer and an Ice Skating event.  If at any time you have questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact our main office at (440) 427-6400. Thank you to all of our families for all of your support and for a great week!
