As colder weather approaches, and the need for sweaters and jackets rise, please label these extra clothes! They get left behind sometimes and names will be helpful when trying to locate them! Also, please send long pants and long sleeved shirts for a change of clothes that students keep in their cubbies in case of accidents.

For homework, please allow your child to bring in an object that is either a 2D shape or 3D shape. Our goal is to create a shape "museum" for students to learn the different shapes. This should be things that are around the house that we could use to show shapes in our world.

If you are having trouble logging in to RAZ Kids, please let me know. I noticed that so many students are not reading online! Our school purchased this wonderful program for students and it is a great way to enhance reading. Reading 20 minutes each day is essential for growth in reading.

Thank you for supporting the Richland Two Back Pack/Food Pantry program! Our campus is collecting corn bread and muffin mixes. It is wonderful how we work together to help others! Also, if you are interested, please check the school blog for school supplies needed for schools affected by the flood.

LCE would like to create a Wall of Fame that recognizes military members from our home and school community. They can be veterans or individuals currently serving in any branch of the military. Please send in a picture (roughly 5x7) with a description of that person and what makes them special to you. Please put your child's name and teacher on the back of the photo so that the pictures can be safely returned.

"Military families, it is not too late to sign your student up for our military kids group! LCE-Lower's military kid support groups are designed to address the specific needs of students with an active duty parent. We focus on topics such as deployments, frequent family moves, transitioning into new schools, making friends, etc. These support groups meet once a month, during the school day. If you feel that your child could benefit from participating in one of our support groups, please complete the form attached below. If you have already filled it out this year, you will not need to complete it again for this school year. Thank you for your service.
