Music News

music

We have had a great year in Music! This Spring we have had fun Bucket Drumming, which has been new for us! At the beginning of the year, students were given rhythm sticks and egg shakers for Music. They will need these materials next school year. Students in grades 3rd-5th will need their recorders next Fall as well. Please encourage your students to put their Music materials in a safe place where they will be ready to be brought back next year! Sixth graders may keep the materials. We wish you all the best!  Have a great summer, everyone!

School Supply Orders

The PTA is offering parents the convenient services of pre-packaged supply kits. This service by The Write Stuff ensures your child or children have the school supplies they need next year without having to run to several different stores to find them. This year, the sales from the school supplies will benefit the PTA.

Each kit will contain exactly what is on your child’s supply list.

Supplies can be ordered using the link below

https://www.write-stuff.com/storefront/school/leescorner

Orders placed online by June 13, 2021 will be sent directly to Lees Corner. Orders can still be placed online until July 11, 2021 but will include a delivery fee and be sent to your home address.

If school supplies are ordered by June 13th and shipped to the school they will be delivered directly to your students’ classroom.  

If you have any questions, please contact Elaine Chen at elaine.y.chen@gmail.com

Kindness Rocks!

We are honoring and celebrating the life of our beloved friend, colleague, and parent, Nicole Sharabi, by creating painted rocks as part of the Kindness Rocks Project. It was so wonderful that so many students and families were able to participate! We will also be installing a Little Library in the outdoor classroom which will be dedicated to Mrs. Sharabi. The Little Library will include some of Mrs. Sharabi's favorite books. We hope you will visit our outdoor classroom, read a book, and be inspired to live your best life full of kindness, love, and joy!
