Thursday Announcements
Good afternoon LPE families! I wanted to wish you all a wonderful 3 day weekend. Veterans Day is a special holiday for us here at Loma Portal and I would like to take a moment to thank all of our Veterans and military servicemen and servicewomen for supporting our country. Our military families are a big part of what makes our school so special and it was a privilege for me to have so many of you here this morning so that we could give you the recognition you deserve.“Our Take a Vet to School Day” celebration was a big hit as usual! Have a great weekend and I will see you on Monday! See below for some updates. –MM
- COVID test kits will be sent home with students next week. These may be used prior to returning to school after our Thanksgiving Break (this is optional).
- Our next English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) meeting will be held on Friday 12/2 at 7:30am in our Library. Please plan on stopping by to chat about how we can continue to support our English Learning students (children are welcome)! Drinks and snacks will be served!
- In order to continue our tradition of music education here at Loma Portal, our school has taken on an exciting opportunity. From now until the end of the school year, our school will be taking part in several music-themed assemblies (1-2 assemblies per month)! These assemblies will focus on various multi-cultural music styles including Brazilian Rhythm and Dance, Drummers Without Borders (percussion from around the world), Cuban Jazz, American Jazz, Japanese Taiko drumming, and Irish step dancing (among others). These assemblies will be funded by our fabulous Foundation and will begin in December. I am so excited to give our students the opportunity to be exposed to some amazing music from around the world! I will be sending more details out soon.
