Hello Linsford families,
Thank you to everyone who have filled out the permission form and paid the fee for swimming lessons. As noted IN THE PARENT INFORMATION LETTER the deadline, for the permission form and fee to be completed on PowerSchool is April 15 @ 3:00 pm. Please do this asap if you have not done so already. The pool requires student numbers and information a few weeks in advance for planning purposes, so deadlines are very firm. If your child is unable to attend for any reason, a water safety package will be provided for them to complete.
Please take note of a greenhouse gift card fundraiser being hosted by our parent fundraising group. Information was sent out in an email along with the order form. The last day to purchase gift cards will be April 24.
Last, but not least, we are looking for donations of gently used pants and new socks. With the amount of moisture in the fields, we have needed to support some of our students with a change of clothes. If you are able to donate something, please send it to the office!
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles
LPS Admin Team
