PTA Meetings are the place to be this year! (Seriously!)

What: Our 2nd PTA Meeting |  When: Thursday, September 21st, 6:30 - 7:30 PM in our school library | ALL are welcome (whether PTA member or not)! 

We are so grateful! Our fantastic Principal, Melissa Barclay, will be leading a discussion at the meeting as a follow up to Devorah Heitner's 9/12 presentation in Lafayette, Growing Up in Public: Coming of Age in a Digital World. Having attended the 9/12 presentation is not required. Mrs. Barclay will share highlights and lead a general discussion on the topic. We'll share our own experiences parenting in this age and learn from one another!

A recording of Devorah Heitner's 9/12 Presentation can be viewed here.

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.

This week, Sept. 18th - 22nd, Early Dismissal every day 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.  

One of the effects of the pandemic was the pause on the LES Dads Club.  But this year, thanks to Gabe Westmaas and Butch Haze, it’s coming back! 

"What is Dads Club?" Great Question!  It’s still coming together at LES, but click the "more" button below for insight from our fellow schools.   If you are interested in helping form the LES Dads Club (such as planning a social event) or just participating, leave your contact info here.

Ms. Contreras will discuss her newest novel, The Man Who Could Move Clouds. This memoir

the power to talk to the dead, tell the future, treat the sick, and move the clouds. Using family
lore, Contreras brings the magic back to life.
