 Due to rain expected this morning, our Bike & Roll to School Day is postponed to Friday, May 8. We encourage all students to participate and meet on the blacktop with your bike or scooter at 8:03 on Friday to take a group photo before heading to class. Mr. Van Trees & Mr. Hickman will be outside in the morning handing out prizes to all students that participate until supplies run out! Bike & Roll to School on Friday, May 8!
 This evening, as a part of our "Evening of the Arts" our 4th - 6th grade students will be participating in a strings, band, and chorus concert. All musicians should wear white tops & black bottoms. Parents are encouraged to drop their child off in time for tuning and then park on school property or nearby. Looking forward to a beautiful event!
All Lemon Road families are encouraged to come to the Evening of the Arts to view their child's artwork displayed throughout the first floor of the school. Mrs. Norton & Mrs. Busch, alongside a team of volunteers, have beautiful artwork throughout the halls and library. This year, #Fairfax250 has sponsored us to offer light refreshments for our visiting families!
Our band, strings, and chorus students must wear their polo and dark bottoms on Thursday for the daytime concert. Musicians should bring back their instruments as they will showcase their hard work for our 3rd - 6th grade students and teachers on Thursday.
 This week is Staff Appreciation Week at Lemon Road where all our staff are appreciated with words of affirmation, treats, food, and small gifts. The PTA has created a beautiful theme and appreciative ideas, but needs help from parents to execute each of the “sweet” ideas. Rather than focus on a specific gift for one staff member, we ask parents to focus on fulfilling the needs for whole staff celebrations first. Look below and try and select one way to support!
Ways to support:
- Make a cash Venmo donation (@LRES_PTA) to enhance the PTA plans (put Staff Appreciation Week in the notes)
- Donate drinks/dessert or volunteer at the luncheon at the luncheon on Friday using the Sign Up Genius
- Have your child write a handwritten note or card to their classroom teacher or a member of our staff
- Donate gift cards to any business in the main office used for raffles, give aways, and prizes.
