New tour session added on Feb 11 to replace the snow day on Feb 6.

This is a fun event at which you can meet other Leschi families and staff and celebrate the fall season.  There will be a fire engine visit from our local fire station, face painting, arts & crafts, outdoor games, and a photo booth.  In addition to a community potluck, we will have a food truck and ice cream cart (weather-dependent) with food items for purchase.  

Fall Fest can only happen with the support of our community -- please volunteer to help out!  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0A4EA4A62EA6FEC34-52132115-fall

The 3rd grade co-family facilitators invite the 3rd grade families to kick off the start of the year by having a meet up at Peppi’s Playground. Families can come say hello and kids can run around and see each other before returning to school. Hope to see you there!

Walk, bike, or roll to school together on May 8th! Walking, biking, and rolling to school supports exercise, reduces pollution, and connects neighbors. Studies even show students arrive at school more attentive and ready to learn.

Can’t walk all the way? Park a couple blocks away from school and walk in!
