Dear Falls-Lenox Families,
Our week kicked off with the High School Girls Basketball Team walking through the building for a Clap Out on Monday! It was great to see our Falls-Lenox students cheer and congratulate our High School Girls! We then had a wonderful Right to Read Week with classes finishing The Wild Robot and each classroom creating their own island to represent the characters and setting of the book. Students went on a scavenger hunt today looking for objects on the islands throughout the school! Thank you to all of the Mystery Readers who visited classrooms this week and to our ECC/FL PTA for the wonderful author assemblies today! Also, a special thank you to all of the families who joined us last night for Family Literacy Night.
Next week, we will be having assemblies on Wednesday, March 27th sponsored by our PTA! The Real Pop Fusion company will be doing assemblies about the importance of being active and moving each day!
Also, next Thursday, March 28th will be Clelveland Guardians Day ~ Wear your Cleveland Guardians Gear or their colors - Red, White, and Blue!
Lastly, food service department asked that I let families know that next week, the cafeteria will be having PIZZA on Thursday, March 28th (since we have missed several Pizza Fridays, and it is a student favorite!)
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

In collaboration with Officer Swope, the following guidelines will help ensure the safety of our students. We appreciate your patience and help!
Children should enter/exit vehicles on the passenger side (directly near the sidewalk) only.
Please pull all the way forward to the white sign that says, "pull up here", so that we can keep the line moving.
Parents and Caregivers should remain in their vehicles.
Please exercise caution and drive slowly when pulling around cars that are loading/unloading to ensure the lane is clear.
