Dear Lancaster Families,

Does your child need a warm, winter hat? We received a generous donation, and we have extras! They will be in the main lobby. Feel free to tell your child that they’re welcome to take one if they’d like a new hat! Thank you!

********************************************

Our Lost & Found is overflowing right now! If your child is missing a sweatshirt, water bottle, or her left snow boot, please ask your child to look through the Lost & Found for the item. Students can work with their teacher to find a good time to search. Over February break, we will be donating any remaining lost & found items to a local charity. 

********************************************

Salem Youth Soccer Association (SYSA)- Spring Travel Program is open for registration! SYSA’s travel program is open to players in the greater Salem community who are interested in a more competitive soccer experience. 

• Age groups with open roster spots:

○ Boys: U8, U10, U11B and U12

• Families interested in travel soccer should email travelvp@salemsoccer.com to be connected with the appropriate age groups coach.

Please see the attached flyer.

********************************************

We have one more week of school before February vacation! We are hoping to finish this week strong, with lots of new learning and engaging activities. Consistent school attendance is very important in the academic and social development of children. Please continue to make every effort to have students in school, on time, and ready to learn. Putting absences in PickUp Patrol is very helpful in notifying the teacher, Nurse Casey, and the main office if your child will be absent. If you are going on a family vacation, please ParentSquare or email me at laura.livie@sau57.org at least two weeks in advance of the trip. We don’t want to disturb your trip with attendance phone calls! Thank you!
