Dear Falls-Lenox Families,

Congratulations to our second graders and Mr. LaFlamme for outstanding music concerts on Tuesday evening!  The students sounded great and did an excellent job at their first concert on the High School auditorium stage! 

Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds! Family Wellness Night - Is taking place on Thursday, December 11th at 6:00 p.m. at Falls-Lenox!  Please REGISTER HERE - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfbFAybIuVKPNgbha4rCqIi5TNUIu0Lv65-uldXvfibxtAA9A/viewform NO LATER THAN Friday, December 5th to ensure we have enough materials for all attendees. We look forward to seeing you and your child learning (and playing!) together at this event! 

Our word of the month for December is Empathy, and our Terrific Kids are holding a "Cozy Collection" this month.  We are collecting new coats, hats, mittens, socks, and scarves. These items will go directly back to our Falls-Lenox students in need.  

We are holding Silver Linings Day on December 9, 10, 11th. This event is for grandfriends of our 2nd grade students.  Please RSVP HERE - 2025 REGISTRATION LINK- JOIN US FOR SILVER LININGS DAY 

We are excited for our Building-Wide Winter "Wonder"Land on Wednesday, December 17th!  Students should wear blue, silver, white or clothes that represent winter!  Winter "Wonder"land is an introduction to student-directed inquiry, which is building instruction out of children's curiosity and wonder.   It involves kids investigating and exploring, connected to students' passions or the curriculum.  Wonder walls capture and honor students' questions that can be returned to for further investigation at a later time.  If your child is in 2nd or 3rd grade, please help them to develop a topic or question that they would like to research and learn more about. First grade teachers will be supporting students and modeling the process. 

As the weather is now getting cold, please make sure that your child comes to school with a winter coat, hat, and gloves.  Students go outside for recess when the "feels like" temperature is 25 degrees and above.  

School fees have been posted to your child's account.  Payment of school fees is required in order for your child to attend field trips.  If you have any questions about your child's school fees, please contact our main office at 440-427-6400.

If at any time you have questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact the main office at 440-427-6400.

Sincerely,

Lisa Williams

Principal

Food Service Information and Breakfast/Lunch Menus

As all students will be returning next week, we wanted to take a moment to remind you to complete the free/reduced meal application before the first day of school, so benefits are active when students come through the cafeteria line. Applications must be submitted each school year, even if you qualified for meal benefits the previous school year. Click the link below for the application and instructions. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
