Dear Parents,
As we welcome the month of June, there is much to celebrate at LGCA. First, a big thanks to the LGCA PAC for organizing and carrying out such a fun and wonderful event this past Saturday at the spring fair. From the fun games, delicious food to of course the ever-popular DUNK tank, there was a little something for everyone. A huge thanks to all of our PAC members for making this a success, and of course to our community for engaging and building upon the community that already exists. A Special thanks go to all those staff members who voluntarily lined up to be in the dunk tank. There’s nothing quite like the excited laughter of a child dunking their teacher:-)
As the school year is quickly wrapping up, we encourage you to have those meaningful conversations with your children as it helps support all of our efforts in LGCA. Please be sure to check your email account for important messages from the school, including from your child’s teachers about any year-end events that are greatly anticipated. May we all come to know God’s love more and more each day as we live and play in this beautiful community that He has made for us.
In His service, Adam Reid – Principal
Library Update
We are heading into the final weeks of the school year, and students have just a little more time to check out library books! Please take some time to look around at home for any overdue or missing library books and return them to the library as soon as possible.
The Students’ last library classes for checking out books was June 2nd and 3rd. All library books must be returned by June 10th. After this date, notices will be sent home to let families know which books are still checked out.
This year, we are excited to offer a special incentive! Students who have returned ALL of their library books by the June 10th deadline will be entered into a draw to win one of two Kidsbooks Bookshop gift cards!
Thank you for supporting our school library and helping us keep our books organized and ready for next year’s readers!
