Hello Lake Myra Families:
As we enter the Thanksgiving Holiday, I am reminded about how fast the school year has gone so far and all the wonderful things we have been able to take part in...we've started the Backpack Buddies Program to run each and every week, a Custodian Appreciation Week, the 3rd Annual Fun Run with a Pep Rally & Awards Ceremony, the Scholastic Fall Book Fair, the Fun Run $100+ Pizza Party, and helped with a very successful Principles Education Summit. Phew, it's been busy here at the Lake!!
