Falls-Lenox Primary School Newsletter
December 8, 2023
Dear Falls-Lenox Families,
We enjoyed hosting grandparents of our second graders this week for Silver Linings Day! Thank you to everyone who came to spend time with their grandchild! As we head into December, our word of the month is empathy. A great way for students to show empathy is to participate in our school-wide "Cozy Collection" Drive hotsted by FL Terrific Kids. More information can be found in the flier linked below.
We will be bringing back lunchroom helper volunteers in January. The link to sign up to volunteer can be found in the PTA section of the newsletter below.
Just a friendly reminder that as the weather turns cold, please make sure to send your child to school dressed for the weather - with heavy coats, hats, gloves and appropriate shoes or boots. Students go outside for recess when the 'real feel' temperatue is 26 degrees and above.
Check out the "Community Connections" tab for information about community actvities and events for kids!
If at any time you have questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact our main office at (440) 427-6400.
Sincerely,
Ms. Lisa M. Williams
Falls-Lenox Principal
