Lake Center Mural Project

Last year, Lake Center was awarded a grant to bring in local artist Conrad Kaufman to create some murals with our students.  Last spring, students brainstormed ideas around specific themes that could be used in the murals.  Over the summer Mr. Kaufman designed 67 different mural pieces and next week the students will have the opportunity to paint them with the artist!  The painting will take place during regular Art times.  Please send a large, grubby t-shirt that your child can wear when painting!  We are so excited for this opportunity and can't wait to see the final product all throughout our hallways!

Dibels/Star Reports/WIN

I was probably suppose to send the Dibel and Star reports home today but kind of forgot.  I will be sure to send both home on Monday, along with the WIN letters that let you know what groups your child will be in during WIN time.  If your not familiar with what WIN(what I need) is at our school, please let me know and I can go into further detail.

Thanks to everyone that made it out to the camp meeting and open house last night.  The most important thing about camp right now is to hand in the health information sheet.  We need all information handed in by Monday, September 18th.  I'm still missing like 6 or 7.  You can also start sending in checks for the cost of camp at any time.  The cost this year is $65.00 and please make sure all checks are made out to Portage Public Schools.

Turtle Trot

All information was sent home today with the kids.  It should all be in their binder.  This is our biggest fundraiser for the year so hopefully everyone can get out their and participate for a good cause.  Kids can start getting sponsors tonight if they want.  The actual turtle trot is on Friday, September 29th.  Fifth grade walks/runs at 11:20.  All donations are due by Friday, October 13th.  I told the class to brainstorm a special event we could do if we collect the most money in the whole school.  The class that collects the most money already gets a pizza party but I told them to think of something creative that's not food related.

Picture day is next Friday, September 29th.
