Happy Thursday Lyonsgate Families,

Both Lyonsgate campuses are closed tomorrow for parent-teacher conferences. Thank you all for signing up. You should have received an email on Wednesday afternoon with instructions on how to connect with your children’s teachers. Please contact us if you did not or if you have any questions.

It is a PA day and children are at home, but please try to plan for 20 minutes where you can speak with your child’s teacher, about your child, without children present. Thank you.

We have more information for you this week from two of our Elementary students about their charitable pursuits for the upcoming holiday season. See the Elementary section below.

We also want to remind you about the toy drive taking place at the Primary campus. We are accepting donations of new and unwrapped toys suitable for children up to age 14 for the Salvation Army to distribute. They have let us know that they are quite low on toys for children this year. We can accept donations up to December 15. Thank you.

Toddler

Hello Toddler Parents,

I’m very much looking forward to connecting with you one-on-one tomorrow to share updates and insights into the classroom and your child’s progress. I’m also looking forward to collaborating with you on how we can best meet each child’s needs as they continue to develop independence and confidence. They are well on their way to growing into the wonderful, creative people that they are each meant to be. — Ms. Gervais

Casa North

I am very much looking forward to connecting with all the Casa North families about my time shared so far with your lovely, capable children. It is an opportunity to exchange stories, observations, goals, successes, and areas of improvement.

Bring your questions & comments because, as always, they are welcome; the Montessori community is about connectedness and working together to help support your children as they grow. I’m excited to cement our teamwork further!

As a gentle reminder, this time is for both parents and teachers to connect, independently. I look forward to seeing and hearing from each of the students on Monday morning.

Casa South

Dear Parents,

I’m looking forward to meeting with you tomorrow to share some of what your child has been busy with at school, what they are currently interested in, and how they relate to their classmates.

This is also a time for you to ask questions or share any information about your child outside of school. Please note that these meetings are a time for conversations between adults. As always, I look forward to seeing your children back at school on Monday.

See you tomorrow,

Ms. Robinson.

Hello Parents,

We are making a digital recipe book. You will get them December 6 or 7 by email. We accept a suggested donation of $5 by December 10 that we will use for charity.

Hello Elementary Parents,

This season we are fundraising for The Shoebox Project. The Shoebox Project helps unhoused women by sending them shoeboxes full of essential and pleasure items (think makeup and toothbrushes). We would appreciate any donations you can give (along the lines of gift cards, a reusable mug, drink packets, a journal, etc.) by December 10.

Have a good day!

Lyonsgate Elementary

Donations for all the Elementary charitable pursuits can be dropped off at either Lyonsgate campus. Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend everyone.
