Lynbrook Principal's Newsletter

Principal's Message:

Hello Lynbrook Families,

I hope this message finds you well! I want to take a moment to express my sincere thanks to everyone who attended our Back to School Night. It was wonderful to see so many of you connecting with our teachers and staff as we continue this exciting school year together.

Hispanic Heritage Month: We are so proud to honor the rich cultures and contributions of the Hispanic community. To celebrate, we have planned a Spirit Week filled with fun activities. Be sure to check out the details attached to this message. Let’s show our school spirit and celebrate together!

6th Grade Leadership Institute: We are also thrilled to announce our 6th Grade Leadership Institute, in partnership with Lewis High School. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to develop leadership skills, learn from high school mentors, and grow both personally and academically. We are incredibly excited about the positive impact this program will have on our students.

As we settle into the school year, we have so much to look forward to—new learning opportunities, continued growth, and building strong relationships within our school community. Let’s keep up the amazing energy! This past Friday marks 1 MONTH OF SCHOOL!!!

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to making Lynbrook Elementary a fantastic place for our students to thrive.
