Dear Center School Families.
Thank you to all the chaperones who joined us on Thursday to view the Scarecrows in the Meadow. Grades K, 1 and 3 had wonderful weather and did an amazing job on their scavenger hunt. Grade 2 will now have their field trip on Wednesday, October 25 at the same time.
Unfortunately, our vision screening with the Lions Club was not able to be completed this past Tuesday. Our new date is Thursday, October 26. If you already sent in the form, you are all set. If you did not send in a form and would like your child to participate, please send a form in by Thursday.
Please see the Virtual Backpack for information regarding upcoming lessons in our Second Step program with Rachel Caporuscio, School Counselor.
Picture Day will be November 13th. Order forms were sent home today and are available in the Virtual Backpack.
Our Virtual Backpack can be found here.
Thank you for sharing your child(ren) with us and partnering with us in your child’s education!
Best,
Lisa

Previously shared information
If you are picking your child(ren) up at the end of the day, please ensure that you are walking them safely to your car. If you would like to enjoy some time outside, you are welcome to use the playscapes in the rear of the building.
We are excited to introduce our Fitness bags which will be sent home with all Kindergarten through Grade 3 students this year. The activity is sponsored by Fit Together. Fit Together is a community collaborative formed in 2011. The initial purpose was to identify and implement environmental and social improvements in the Northwest corner of CT. Their mission is to build the healthiest kids, families and communities through sustainable strategies that foster healthy eating and active living.
Each bag has a variety of activities for students to share with their family and friends. Suggestions of games will be included, but you are welcome to create your own fun as well. Bags will be sent home each Friday with one student from the class. The bag should be returned with all the contents on the following Thursday so that another classmate can enjoy the following week.
If you would like to email pictures or share any feedback, we would love to have it. Information can be sent to the centerschool@lpsct.org address.
