Announcements

Our field trip to Maritime Museum is on Monday, Februrary 13th.  The 
cost of this trip is $12.00 which covers entrance into the museum and bus 
transportation.  Students without a signed permission slip or money to pay 
for the trip will not be able to attend.  Remember, if your child indicated 
that he/she was bringing a lunch from home, please don't forget to send it 
along on that day.  The cafeteria does not pack extra lunches on field trip 
day!

Valentine's Day recognition will take place in class on Tuesday afternoon.  
Children will be able to exchange cards and/or treats beginning at 2:00 p.m.  
Participation in this Valentine's Day exchange is voluntary; however, if your 
child chooses to participate, remember that ALL children in our classroom 
MUST be included in any exchange.  Please be considerate of each and every 
valued member of our classroom family. Thank you!

Links of Love are available for 25 cents a piece or 5 for $1.00.  All money 
raised will go to help find a cure for cancer.  Please consider how you can 
help Lyon make a difference with this worthwhile charity.  Thank you for your 
support!

Checkpoints testing in math and reading will be taking place this week. 


Now is a great time to replenish your child's school supplies.  Most children 
are in need of glue sticks, pencils, erasers, crayons, markers and new 
composition notebooks.  Thank you, in advance, for helping to keep your child 
supplied with the things he/she needs to be successful in class.

  
Please be sure your child remembers to wear a warm jacket or sweater to 
school now that the weather is turning a bit chilly.

Please help me by making sure your child knows how he/she is getting home 
from school each day.  If there are transportation changes home, I will need 
to have a written note detailing the changes.  School policy does not allow 
me to take your child's word for any changes - parents must provide 
permission through Lyon's office staff. 
 

Encourage your child to read at least 20 minutes daily. Remember, children 
LOVE when you read to them! Curl up on your favorite comfy chair and share in 
the joy of reading a great story with your child. 

Please consider joining Lyon's excellent PTA.  All of the students attending 
this great school benefit from the generous time, talent, and effort given 
through PTA participation. 

One last thing...cut out and send in all of your BoxTops for Education and 
Community Coffee UPC codes.  Lyon Elementary is able to purchase great 
equipment and supplies from these manufacturer incentives.
