April is the month of the military child.  We love our military children and strive to build a community that celebrates and offers support to our littlest heroes.  Military kids and their families face challenges every year such as frequent moves, deployments, and reintegration.  What we celebrate is their resiliency, courage, and service throughout these unique challenges.  We would love for you to email pictures of you and your military child to Ms. Harper at kharper@richland2.org. Please send all pictures by April 15th.  Thank you for helping to support our military children at LCE!

Field trip to the farm!  We are going to Country Time Adventures on Thursday April 30, 2015. There is  an information sheet and a permission sheet in your child's FRED folder.  We are only allowed to take 3 chaperons on the trip.  We (Mrs. Grant and I) drew names today and  the lucky 3 are *drum roll*  Mr. Lewis (Josh's Dad), Mrs. Lee (Isaac's Mom), and Mrs. Dasinger (Paisleigh's Mom).  If there is some reason that any of our chaperons can not make it please let me know and we can draw another name.  Please know that all chaperons have to pay $10 to attend.
