Hello Patriots!

Looking at the week ahead, we have the TeamLCPS movie nights at Goochland Drive-in on Wednesday & Thursday, 3rd Grade Field Trip to LCHS on Wednesday, 5th Grade Field Trip to the Science Museum on Thursday, and our Patriot Palooza/Club Day on Friday. The following week is Spring Break at LCPS, from April 1 through April 5th.

• Field Day T-Shirt orders will begin tomorrow March 18-29, 2024. The ordering process will be ONLINE ONLY . The link to order is https://tjes24.itemorder.com/shop/home/. This will be the only opportunity to purchase a shirt as we do not order extra for in person sale.
  
  
• Don't forget about our school wide Read-A-Thon. Our goal is to have our students read for 50,000 minutes. Minutes will be counted from in-school reading. We look forward to reaching this goal together as a school and celebrating our success at our next school wide Palooza on March 29th.

• We are thrilled to announce that LCPS is currently accepting preschool applications for the 2024-2025 school year. If your child will be four years old by September 30th, 2024 he or she may be eligible to enroll in our program. Our community partner, MACAA, is also accepting applications for their preschool program for children ages three to five years old. Be on the lookout for our information flyer coming home this week!
