Lost and Found  - Please Label Items!

SLES plans to donate all Lost and Found items at the end of each month. If items (jackets, hats, scarves, water bottles, etc.) are labeled with a student name, the school can try to return those items to your student once it turns up in Lost & Found. Students will also know which items belong to them when looking through the Lost and Found.

 

Snack Reminder

As a reminder, please send your student to school with a snack every day, if able to do so. The PTA supports our school with snack purchases for when a student forgets their snack or is unable to bring a snack to school.

 

Care & Share Needs:

Please place donations in the red bins outside of the front office.

* Youth XL winter jackets

* Boys size 4T underwear

 

Got Talent? D3 Showcase Co-Chair Needed!
