Mr. D’Amato was a guest reader in Ms. Bienvenu’s kindergarten class. We appreciated the visit, and he shared three great books with us!


Student Holiday

Monday, October 8th is Columbus Day and a School Planning Day. Students will NOT be in school.  SACC will be open.

We hope you enjoy the 3 day weekend!


Walk/Bike to School

Lees Corner will be celebrating our annual ‘Walk/Bike to School Day’ on Wednesday, October 10th, 2018. It has become a very successful event in past years and we know the students have all come to enjoy it. Walk/Bike to school day highlights healthy choices, exercise, and brings attention to the positive environmental impact of exercising instead of driving.

How can your family participate?

  • For those who are able, we encourage you to Walk/Bike to and/or from school
  • If your child walks or bikes to school, please help them find a safe path with a buddy or parent
  • We WILL have an administrator helping cross at the Lees Corner/Hollinger intersection
  • All classes & students will participate in the Polar Parade around our track during the day for a 20-30 minute block!  

If possible, please have your child wear Lees Corner spirit wear. Also please have them bring their water bottle to use after walking outside.

Box Tops Collection

It's time for our first BoxTop Contest of the year!  Please collect and bring in as many BoxTops for Education as you can.  This year, we ask that you just place them in a Ziploc bag, with your name and teacher's name for easy identification.  The top 3 classes with the most BoxTops collected will earn a Pajama Day and 15 bears (1st), 10 bears (2nd) and 5 bears (3rd).  The last collection day for THIS contest will be Friday, October 26th.
