Week of September 23rd-26th

Donut day, homecoming parade, candy galore...

This was a fun week at LAE! We got to celebrate our annual homecoming parade today. It is always a blast and the kiddos enjoy getting TONS of candy. Reminder that our fall carnival is coming up next Thursday from 5:00 to 7:00. Come out and join us for a fun night of games, food and much more! Tickets are sold at the elementary office and can be purchased at the door the night of the carnival as well. We will have our October remote learning day on October 4th. Your student's teacher should be posting or sending home assignments for that day. Hope you all have a great weekend!
