LCEL Service Learning Project

Our final service learning project this year begins now and ends April 10. We are filling backpacks for local Foster Care Children. This project will help encourage the LIFESKILLS of Caring, Cooperation, Friendship, and Responsibility. Look for information from your child’s teacher on how donate the requested items. Each grade level is asked to donate different items since we are filling backpacks for boys and girls of different ages.

Each child will receive a backpack with a personalized pillowcase and all the items each class is asked to donate.

Congratulations Mrs. Beck

The Making Accidents Disappear magic show taught students about  power line and electrical safety. Stop, Look and Think are the key words to remember when dealing with electricity.
