CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2016 FALL

ALL ACADEMIC ALL-STATE ATHLETES

CONGRATULATIONS  TO  THE  ALL-­‐DISTRICT  FOOTBALL  MEMBERSDevan  Rule  -­‐-­‐  1st  Team  Defense

Emilio  Gonzalez  -­‐-­‐  1st  Team  OffenseSkyler  Salts  -­‐-­‐  Honorable  Mention

We want to send a big thank you to all the students, staff, parents, and family who supported the One-Act.

! JANUARY 2017

It’s that time of year again to prepare for bad weather. In the event adverse weather conditions affect the school’s regular schedule you will receive a text from the district’s Electronic Alert System. This system will send a text to each of the phone numbers you

have registered with the school for contact purposes. You can also listen to KWBE, KUTT/

KGMT radio or watch channels 8 and 10-11 on your television.

It is important to remember two items when late starts occur. First, buses will run

according to the announced late start. If a “2 hour late start” is announced, plan on the

buses running two hours later than normal. Secondly, always error on the side of caution

when determining rather to allow your child to drive to and from school when road

conditions are questionable. Safety is priority one.

Parents of PK-6 StudentsThe weather is changing. The children go outside to play at recess unless it is extremely cold. Please encourage your

child to dress appropriately to stay warm...a coat that closes in the front,

hat, and gloves. Once the snow is on the ground, if your child wants to play in the snow, they MUST have snow pants AND snow boots to wear at recess or they

will have to stay on the pavement. Please write your child’s name on all

their “cold weather gear”.

Wanted:

Box Tops for EducationPlease give your Box Tops for Education to any Lewiston student and have them deliver them to the pink box in the office to be counted and submitted. Lewiston Consolidated School gets 10 cents for each Box Top we submit.

Thanks for all your help and support!

WANTED: EMPTY INK JET CARTRIDGES Please give your used ink jet cartridges to any Lewiston student and have them deliver them to the library. Lewiston HAL receives cash to donate towards Earth Day projects.Each student who donates an ink cartridge

will receive a prize from Mrs. Goossen’s prize box.
