Kindergarten had their 3 Piggy Opera this week and it was a wonderful performance!
April is a very busy month as we have so much to celebrate! Next week we will be celebrating Autism Acceptance Week. In addition, it is also Earth Week! Feel free to be creative and participate in a way that works best for your family!
 If you’d like to also support Earth Week, please see the following:
Engage students with FCPS Earth Week BINGO boards for the chance to win prizes. Check the Get2Green Earth Week webpage for everything you need to get started. Also check out www.earthday.org for more information and if you'd like, participate in Earth Spirit Week.
We are very proud of our band students who memorized their music to perform in our pep rallies during school and at the Lees Corner v Oak Hill Basketball Game, cheering our team on to victory! Under the direction of Mrs. Hill and Ms. Ammirati, our 120 band students collaborated with some Lees Corner Band alumni, current Chantilly High School and Franklin Middle School students, who returned to play alongside our Band students at the game.
Our next performance will be our Spring Concert on May 1st !
Each year the PTA sponsors an end of year party for the 6th grade class. To make this party special for our kids, we need your help collecting pictures.
-
Please select five digital photos of your child. These photos can be any pictures you like, showing your child through the years. These photos, along with their 6th grade school picture, will be printed on a personalized poster for each child. Include your child's first and last name in the subject line of the email. Email photos to lces.2024.photos@gmail.com

Kindergarten Photos - at the 6th grade celebration there will be a slide show of all 6th graders. Part of the slide show includes the official “school photos” from kindergarten and 6th grade. Please email a Kindergarten photo of your child. It can either be a school photo or a regular photo. Please label the photo with your child's name and the word Kindergarten ("John Doe Kindergarten.jpg"), and include the child's name in the subject of the email. Email photos to 2024.photos@gmail.com

Class Events, Musicals, Plays and Field Trips - Photos of class events throughout the years are welcome as well. You can email photos to to 2024.photos@gmail.com or upload photos to 2024 6th Grade Photos.
Troubleshooting: if you have technical problems or need to scan a physical photo, please email lces.2024.photos@gmail.com and one of our Poster committee leads (Katey Miller and Tracey Yeoh) will be happy to help.
Please send in the photos before April 30, 2024.
