News for the Week of 10/19-10/23

Dates to Remember: 

October 21st- Full Day of School

October 22nd & 23rd- Student Holidays (No School)

October 30th Kindergarten Harvest Day (Dress as Farmers)

Due to the recent flooding in our state and the devastation that many around us are facing, Lake Carolina will participate in a yearlong Service Learning project focused on helping those in our nearby communities. Each month we will focus on a specific need and collect items for those needing support. We will kick off our project by collecting school supplies during the month of November. 

Additionally, our district is collecting items to assist our Richland Two Back Pack/ Food Pantry program.  They are seeking specific donations from each of our schools to help those impacted by the flood.  Richland Two is asking Lower Campus to collect muffin and cornbread mixes and Upper Campus to collect boxes of rice and pasta. Please consider adding these items to your grocery list as we will continue to collect them throughout the year.  

Stay tuned for more information to come. As always, thank you for your support of our school and community. 

Please allow your child to bring in two apples  by Thursday, October 29th for a fun way to learn about apples while we compare and contrast them.. We would like to get a variety of red, yellow and green if possible! We will make applesauce with them as well!

Homework: Apple Products...please look in your child's folder for a quick homework assignment. Please return Monday, Oct. 26th as this will be a collective class book. 

 

Harvest Day Oct. 30th- Students will come to school dressed as a farmer. This could include jeans, over-alls, boots, straw hats, bandannas, plaid shirts etc... Students will enjoy a special day of Fall fun! We will have a picnic lunch. Please look for a form that you will indicate whether your child will be bringing a picnic lunch from home or if he/she will choose a school picnic lunch.
