The good news: The most recent tally shows our school in (close) 2nd place for school with most ResRun registrations. 

The other news: Our school is only a handful of registrations ahead of third place school Stanley, and... let's just say... quite a few handfulsbehind Burton Valley Elementary (BVE).

Yes, BVE has (almost 300) more students than our school, BUT, just two short years ago, our mighty Leopard community managed to get more registrations than any other school (including BVE!) and WON the September 30th contest!!  Can you help us do it again?!?  Yes, you can!

Please sign-up yourself and your whole family, and encourage all neighbors - whether they have adult children, preschool-age children or no children (i.e., please encourage EVERYONE) to sign up and select Lafayette Elementary School as the school to support: ResRun Signup

Let's close the gap on Burton Valley’s lead!!

Reminder: Sept. 18th - 22nd Early Dismissal all week for Parent Teacher Conferences. All students in Grades 1 thru 5 are released at 12pm. 

To-go student lunches will be available for pick-up each day in the multipurpose room after dismissal through our regular meal program.  

Join in the fun at Run Club!

Last week Run Club welcomed over 60 student and parent/giver participants who logged over 75 miles, woohoo! We hope you'll join us for Week #2 tomorrow at 7:45am. Everyone in the LES community is welcome, and we'll have a name badge for all LES students. You'll be rewarded with sweat, smiles, and some yummy treats for kids and adults. See you on the blacktop!

Thank you to all who came to last Wednesday's info night; the attendance blew our socks off!

Next Step: We sent out a commitment google form yesterday to the OM interest list about forming teams. If you didn't receive it and would like one, please email Andi at president@pafayettepta.info. Forms are due 9/18/23.

Please remember: Odyssey of the Mind (OM) is a wonderful experience as well as a big time commitment. Please take this level of commitment into consideration, as teammates rely on each other for the entirety of the season. In addition, OM teams, once formed, are not run by LES but rather the parents. Please factor in your own ability to commit as well. Typical level of commitment: teams meet at least once per week for 1-2 hours from October - February. Each team is coached by 1-2 parent coaches, plus additional parent support.

For those new to Lafayette, Westival is our school's quintessential fall carnival (originally the event had a "western" theme, hence the name: Western + Festival = "Westival"). Our campus quad area gets transformed into a pumpkin patch decorated with amazing scarecrows created by each LES class (thanks to parent volunteers from each class - please consider volunteering for this fun activity!).

This year, Westival will be held on Saturday, 10/14, from 1pm-5pm.

At the event, LES families can purchase game tickets (with cash or credit cards) to use for traditional carnival games, the always-popular Cake Walk, bake sale, popcorn, face painting and pumpkins to take home!   Separately, families may bid on one of the many creative scarecrows to proudly display in their home or yard.

Westival is a special community-building event, and your participation is highly encouraged. Please be on the lookout for volunteer opportunities in the weeks to come. Have questions now? Please reach out to event chair, Amy Coombe.
