 Last week, Lemon Road celebrated Earth Week! Thank you to all students and staff for dressing each day to represent the colored themes. It matters!
On Tuesday, the Lemon Road staff had the opportunity to say thank you to our parent volunteers who have helped in the classrooms, throughout the school, and through the PTA with a breakfast. We appreciate the partnership we have with our parents and hope you will continue to support!
Lemon Road also held our Level IV Orientation where our teachers and select students welcomed families from local schools to Lemon Road to share about our school and community culture. Finally, on Friday, Ms. Albright, Mrs. Argodale, and Mrs. Argue shared with our parents the work we have done towards Portrait of a Graduate Presentations of Learning. Thank you to everyone who could attend!
Yesterday, select Lemon Road 6th graders joined choral students and directors from around the county for the annual All County Chorus Festival! It was a gorgeous event and we are proud of our student singers!
Parent Reminders:
Lemon Road Families,
We are excited to share that we will be starting our bike riding unit in PE for 3rd - 6th grade students. It will begin May 6th and end on May 31st.
We will take all precautions to make sure that your children will be safe the entire time they ride including: wearing hairnets & helmets and teaching students proper bike safety.
Having a properly fitted helmet is critical in keeping students safe, so we ask that students with long hair wear it in a way that a helmet can still fit properly (for example, a low ponytail instead of a high ponytail). Students may bring their own helmet to use during PE. Lastly, we ask that students don’t wear long dresses, excessively baggy clothing, or sandals on PE days to ensure safe riding. Thank you for helping your child have the most success possible in this new PE unit!
If your child would like to use their own bike during their PE class, we ask that they ride it to school and lock it on the bike rack next to the trailers in the back of the school (rather than in the front).
Mr. Hickman and Mr. Van Trees

 This week, we will focus on the character strength enthusiasm! This means you approach life with excitement and energy. You energize people around you. Enthusiasm is the ability to bring life and excitement to different situations. It often leads to a higher level of involvement and engagement both for individuals and for groups. These people are often identified as early leaders and innovators as a result of their outward excitement about a task or project.
See above for some students and staff enthusiastic about animal print day!
