April 9th Update
Students created beautiful pieces of art for display. These pieces have been processed through art cards. We will be displaying student art work at the school. Thank you for supporting this fundraising effort. Art card orders arrived today and many classes will be able to distribute them to go home today.
Bussing
If your child is NOT taking the bus at the end of the day it is important that you notify the office. We take bus attendance every day and if we are not informed of a change in plan, we hold the bus to determine the child is safe. Please call or email the office before dismissal.
Away for the day
We would like to remind families about the “Away for the Day” policy for technology. We discourage personal items especially valuable technologies from coming to school. If devices are coming to school please remember the school cannot be responsible for their security. In addition, all smartwatches, phones, and other devices must be powered down and stored away (e.g. in a backpack pocket).
Spring Event – May 7
LBS Springs Together will take place on May 7 from 6:30-8:00 pm. There will be activities for families to do together throughout the school. Each class will be doing a musical performance on the stage as part of the event. Stay tuned to as information about what time your child performs will be shared soon. (The family dance is the following week – see below for information from School Council).

Volunteers Needed for Family Dance
Our dance needs a great roster of people to make it run smoothly. Shifts are conveniently split to allow families to have fun together and volunteering earns your family a free ticket. It's a great chance for grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. to be involved in the kids' school since police checks are not required for this event.

Sweet Treats Needed for Family Dance
We’re looking for donations of all kinds of treats, from cakes to cupcakes, cookies, and beyond for our annual cake walk! Whether homemade or store-bought, your goodies will have our little dancers and their families grinning ear-to-ear. Donations of any size are welcome, and if you can list the ingredients (especially for common allergens), it’s icing on the cake! Gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan options are always a hit and especially appreciated by families with dietary restrictions.
Ready to sweeten up our night? Sign up online here.
Thank you for making our Cake Walk the sweetest stop at the dance!
Raffle Donations Needed for Family Dance
Our community has been incredibly generous, donating a slew of great raffle items for our family dance. We're hoping our school community can help out directly or via connections with their local business network to sweeten the pot even more. We are especially looking for "fun" physical items that kids will get excited about. So far, many of our donations have been gift cards that are amazing but we want to make sure our little learners who might not be able to read yet will get to feel just as excited! Reach out to Noa at noaede80@gmail.com if you are able to donate.
