The student council team has already been hard at work planning their first special event for our LP families: LP Trunk or Treat on Saturday, October 27th, see details below. One of the primary goals of the student council team is to bring a sense of community and school pride to our students and families. School spirit warms a school, makes everyone smile, and brings students/families together. These student leaders have a better understanding that our school is stronger as a whole than we are as individuals. This school wide event will create a legacy of memories for our LP Community. Go Bolts!

Leader in Me Seminars for Parents
All of the fall sessions are full. We have had a great response to our first round of sessions with very positive feedback from the attendees! We do want to keep the sessions to a smaller groups as they are interactive and a larger group would not fit the format of the session. Be on the lookout for additional sessions to be offered during the spring, dates to be determined.
Special thanks to the following parents who graciously volunteered to be the parent ambassadors for the training sessions. They attended training last May to help expand the Leader in Me program in the 18-19 school year: Kristin McCormick, Kathleen Tyson, Trish Schaefer, Monica Dapcic, and Ryan Martin.
