Good afternoon, Lake Park Families. Please see the following reminders and updates.

3. PTO's big fundraiser starts today. Our goal is to raise $10,000.00 to continue with our Outdoor Classroom/Garden updates. Your student will bring home their packet with registration details. We are asking ALL parents to pre-register their student(s) here: https://www.shopfund.com/parentregister LPES Group Code: BBUHA
Please get at least one person to support our fundraiser before our official kick-off day. Any student who is registered and adds 10 contacts will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win over 1,000 prizes. How cool would it be if we took a chunk out of our goal BEFORE the fundraiser even starts?
And even more exciting: You can win EXTRA prizes from the school, like a homework pass, a free dress day, or a PJs & Popcorn Movie party for the top-selling grade!

We had our first lockdown / intruder drill today. Our students did an outstanding job. Procedures were taught in the classroom and reviewed on the morning show. We have an automated intercom system that reinforces procedures throughout the drill. We have completed two fire drills and one intruder drill this school year. Safety drills are scheduled at least once a month. Our students are learning to be proactive!
Have a wonderful weekend!
