Dear Falls-Lenox Families,

It was great to see many of our families at Parent - Teacher Conferences last night!  The second night will take place on Monday, November 21st.  

As the weather has now turned cold, please send your child to school with a winter coat, hat/earmuffs, and gloves. Students go outside for recess, unless the 'real feel' temperature is below 20 degrees. Also, just a reminder that students are not allowed to have cell phones (including cell phone watches) on the bus or at school.  

Invitations went out to parents of 2nd and 3rd graders this week for Silver Linings Day, which will take place December, 5th, 6th, or 7th.  Please see below for the invitation and RSVP.  

As we continue with our theme of the year, "All Are Welcome", and to learn more about our students, we invite our families to share about your culture and or a special tradition your family celebrates.  Please see a letter attached below for more information about how you can help our school and students learn more about each other!

We are having a Falls-Lenox Ryco Spirit Wear sale.  This is building fundraiser and proceeds will go to Falls-Lenox Primary School. The link to purchase spirit wear from Ryco can be found below or linked HERE.  Orders placed by November 21st, will be ready by December 15th.

There is no school due to the Thanksgiving Holiday - Wednesday, November 23rd-November 27th.  School resumes Monday, November 28th. 

The November ECC/FL PTA meeting will take place on Tuesday, November 29th at 9:00 a.m. in the Falls-Lenox cafeteria.  Following the meeting, there will be a building tour and classroom visits. We hope you can join us!

In looking ahead to December, we will be having a Winter Spirit Week the week of December 12th!  Please see the flier below for the schedule! 

I encourage you to check out the "Community Connections" section of this newsletter located on the left side of the page. It is updated regularly with community fliers.  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!
