This week and last week was jam packed with activities and learning! We had movies, activities, field trips and even the Grinch visited us! As the first semester comes to a close, I would like to thank all of you for making it a successful first half of our school year. Thank you for always supporting our school and your kiddos education. Let's continue the greatness in the last half of the school year. Winter break will start on December 20th and students will return back on Tuesday, January 7th. We hope you all have a great Winter break and enjoy plenty of family time! Happy Holidays to you all and we will see everyone back after break!

-Mr. Daugherty

Last week we recognized our November Students of the Month! These students were selected by their teachers for displaying our Little Axe Citizenship Commitments of being safe, respectful, responsible and ready to learn each and every day! Way to go!

If you are needing to make changes to your student's transportation for the day, please make sure to email Pam Edmondson at pamela.edmondson@littleaxeps.org before 1:00 PM.

First grade students got to experience a fun Holidays around the World activity this week!

LAE Student Council members recently took a field trip to the Regional Food bank where they volunteered to help fill food boxes. These kiddos packed 550 boxes and packed 3,300 bags of food which was approximately 9,900 pounds of food. These boxes will help provide 8,250 total meals for families in need. Way to go, STUCO!

Volunteer Background Check Information

We have many new families since the beginning of the year and I would like to share our car rider procedures with you. Pictured above is a map of the car rider line. It is important to remember to have your car tag in the afternoon for pick up. Please remember to have it displayed so we can easily enter in your car tag number. Students will be escorted to your car once the line has moved forward and stopped.

In the mornings, please remember we do not allow families to walk across the car lane in the parking lot. We ask that you please enter the car line and drop your students off in the correct area when signaled by our staff members on duty.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring our car rider procedures run smoothly.
