Congratulations to our most recent LES Cub Calls & Proud Paws Calls!
Brynlee’s teacher wrote that: “Brynlee is always helping other students and staff. She is positive and ready to tackle each day’s tasks. She is a wonderful example of ROAR expectations.”
Zii was also nominated be her teacher, who wrote: “Zii is always smiling. Teachers stop by just to say ‘hi’ and see her smile. Zii follows directions in all special areas and in the classroom.”
Damoni also placed a call home for his nomination. Damoni’s teacher wrote that “Damoni follows the ROAR expectations every time he comes to my classroom. He always raises his hand, stays in his seat, is an active learner, and helps others without being asked. He especially touched my heart by giving me a very nice note about how much he loves Second Step, and having me as a teacher. Such a smart, kind, young man who is going to go far in life.”

Congratulations to our most recent LES Cub Calls & Proud Paws Calls!
Abe's teacher wrote that "Abraham is an amazing student, classmate, and friend. He works hard everyday and is always proud to show off his work. He is very kind to others and tries to help them any way he can. Keep it up Abraham!"
Isabella was nominated by her teacher for "working so hard in class. She is eager to learn and always tries her best. She participates in every subject and contributes to class discussions. Isabella is so kind to her teachers and classmates, and has the biggest smile when she enters the room. I am so lucky to have her in my class. Keep up the amazing work Bella!"
We also had our first pair of sibling nominees, Michael and Hazel. They each were individually nominated by their own teachers, but were able to call home with Mrs. Taylor together!
Hazel's teacher wrote: "she is one of the best at following her ROAR expectations and always trying her best to work to figure out an answer. She is polite and always willing to help a friend or be a friend to whoever wants to play or work together."
Micheal's teacher wrote that he "has done such a great job this far following our ROAR expectations! He is kind to everyone, always ready and willing to help anyone in need and is working hard on new skills!"
Makai was nominated his teacher for "working super hard this year academically. He is always trying his best with all of his work and participates/volunteers in class discussions. Makai is making excellent choices."
We also had another Michael nominated! His teacher wrote: "He is a helpful classmate. He has helped other students when they missed instruction or with work, even if he had to get help to understand it at first. He is always behaved and has good manners. He is a good role model."
Khloe was nominated for being "consistently responsible, respectful, and taking ownership of her work and actions." Her teacher added, "however, what I want to point out most is her drive to be accepting and encourage others. She on more than one occasion has written notes to entire classes encouraging them to be kind and work together. She is very perceptive of the needs of others."
Last but certainly not least, Annabelle was nominated for her efforts in being "consistently kind and helpful to others. She is attentive, possesses a high level of energy for learning, and puts forth her best effort each and every day. She is a role model to her peers! Keep being amazing Annabelle!"
Congratulations to all of you on demonstrating excellent examples of ROAR expectations! 👏

On Tuesday, November 21st, 4th graders presented their Thanksgiving Brochures to LES staff and peers. The students worked on this project in connection with their Collaborative Classroom “Being A Writer” unit. This particular unit lesson taught the students alternative ways to write outside of writing a traditional story or essay. Looks like we know who to go to for our next district brochures! Thank you to the Fourth Grade Team for inviting us and sharing these photos. Great job, 4th graders, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!
This month’s LCSD Happiness 360 tactic has been “gratitudes.” At the beginning of November, Students K-12 were given a gratitude journal to record daily the things they are thankful for. Through our partnership with H360, teachers have been fostering an attitude of gratitude with weekly lessons and challenges. And we’ve also seen acts of gratitude pop up all over the district, including these gratitude jars in the MS/HS halls.
By the end of the month, LCSD staff and students will be able to recognize and appreciate positive things that happen to us daily. Don’t forget that everyone in the LCSD community is welcome to join H360! Register here: https://happiness-360.mn.co/spaces/8886899/feed
On Monday, November 20th, 3rd-5th grade students participated in workshops with The REV Theatre Company, who provide in-school arts education in the Finger Lakes region.
