Way to go band students! You sound like you are ready for high school band.


Barnes & Noble Night

Lees Corner Elementary will be hosting a Book Fair at Barnes & Noble Book Store!

When: Friday, June 8th from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm. 

Where: 12193 Fair Lake Promenade Dr. Fairfax, VA

LCES will receive a percentage of the sales that evening to spend on books and other resources for our library.

Students will have the opportunity to listen to guest readers, make bookmarks, and participate in an “open mic” for reading poetry and short stories.


Child ID Event--Save the Date

A free child ID card event will be held for LCES families in conjunction with the Fairfax County Sheriff's Department on Monday May 14, 2018 at Lees Corner Elementary from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m., ahead of the PTA meeting. The process generally takes less than five minutes per child and a parent or guardian must be present to verify the identification.

At events all around the county, Sheriff’s deputies and volunteer reserve deputies fingerprint, photograph and measure a child; add any demographic information a parent provides; and then produce a plastic ID card for the parent’s safekeeping. To protect the privacy of the family, none of the information is retained by the Sheriff’s Office. For families in our community, this card could be the key to assisting law enforcement agencies should their child ever become missing. For the children, the process of producing the card offers a fun and positive experience interacting with law enforcement officers. (https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/…/community-free-child-id-car…)
