LEAP Family Event ( BOTH WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY)
Come join us on September 27th from 11 AM- 1 PM at Mehaffey Park in Loveland. Pack up a picnic lunch, and bring your chairs or blankets and spend the afternoon getting to know other LEAP families. We have rented the pavilions along with mobile recreation trailer for families to come enjoy games and activities. This is NOT a drop off event, City of Loveland will have a few staff members present to help run the event but we still ask that you stick close to your kiddos while they are using the equipment. This is a fun way for everyone to have some fun outside of school and get to know each other. Hope you can make it!
If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Smith (julie.smith@tsd.org) or Mrs. Richardson (erin.richardson@tsd.org).
PLEASE speak with your students about the dress code printed in the handbook. We didn't speak to any students yet as maybe some didn't know this was addressed at orientation/back to school days. PLEASE REVIEW!
STUDENTS - Please do NOT wear:
• Clothing with holes that make the clothing immodest
• Clothing that shows the midriff
• Sagging jeans with undershorts showing
• Short-shorts or short skirts unless pants are worn underneath each.
• T-shirts with inappropriate logos
• See-through blouses that show undergarments.
PLEASE HAVE STUDENTS' SCHEDULES PRINTED OR WRITTEN OUT FOR THEM SO WE CAN HELP THEM GET TO THEIR CORRECT CLASSES! THIS WILL NEED TO CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.
LUNCH VOLUNTEERS! A big THANK YOU to our volunteers: Talia S., Sam W., Nicole B., Heather D., Megan K., Amy N., Sam M., Megan F., Madeline R., Tiffany V., Samantha W., and Lindsey A. We have 5 volunteers for Wednesday and 2 for Thursday. We could use more on Thursday, please.
We currently have 56 families attending on Wednesdays and 43 families attending on Thursdays. With 5 volunteers each week, this means if each Wednesday family volunteered 3 times during the year, we would have it covered. With 5 volunteers each week, each Thursday family would need to volunteer 4 times throughout the year. Thank you for considering!
