Principal Update for the week of October 31, 2016

October  30,  2016

Dear Lincoln Eliot Families,

I hope you stayed dry this weekend.  Read on to read a  Halloween Dance thank you message from the PTO, Garden Clean Up, Election Day and Principal Coffee

Thank You From the PTO

Thank you for helping to make this year’s Halloween Dance such an enormous success!  A big debt of gratitude is owed to Siobhan Wheeler and Andrea Hemment, who co-chaired this event.  They worked tirelessly and organized an amazing dance!  Special thanks are also owed to the faculty and staff of L-E, and in particular, our principal, Jody Klein, our administrative assistant, Jena Rossi, our wonderful custodian, Geary Chalmus and all of the faculty that participated in the Teacher Treat Raffle.  Last, but not least, a huge thank you to the parents and guardians who volunteered their time to staff the dance, as well as donate baked goods.  As Siobhan says, the success of this dance proves once again that “Lincoln-Eliot families are the best!”

Lincoln Eliot Garden

On Saturday, the garden volunteers had a successful work party preparing the beds for winter. Six adults and two children dug up old plants, started a new batch of compost, spread seasoned compost, drained the irrigation system, put away hoses, and planted a cover crop of winter rye.  Many hands made light work as they were finished in an hour.  Thank you!

Election Day

Election Day is Tuesday, November 8th.  All voters will enter through the Jackson Road entrance and will only be allowed in the gym.    I encourage you to walk your child to school that day as there will be many additional people trying to park around the school.  There will be two police officers on hand to help.   The PTO is looking for volunteers to bake and work the bake sale table.
