 It was an exciting week at Lemon Road! Our 1st & 3rd grade classrooms were chirping as students welcomed newly hatched chicks into their classrooms. Thank you to Mrs. Busch and our teachers for providing such a memorable experience for our students.
On Wednesday, Mrs. Busch and our Trout Team celebrated the release of the trout that they have been caring for at George Washington National Forest. Then our 5th & 6th graders had a fantastic time at Wednesday’s SCA Spring Social! Thank you to Ms. Benson, Ms. Deal & our SCA for planning such a fun event. The energy was high thanks to DJs VT & Hickman who kept the dance floor full start to finish.
We have successfully completed two of three days of SOL testing. The experience has been smooth and the students have been working hard. Thank you for ensuring that your children come to school on testing days well rested, having eaten breakfast, and with a positive attitude! All grades 3 - 6 students will take their math SOL on Thursday.
Mark your calendar for the PTA Meeting this Wednesday night. Representatives from Longfellow and Kilmer Middle Schools will be in attendance and we encourage our 5th & 6th graders to attend with their parents. This meeting will take place in the cafeteria and childcare is available in the library.
Have a great week!
