Dear families,
Lou Henry is a Blue Zones school. One of our missions is to serve less sugary
drinks and treats to our students. Our school has a holiday celebration this
month and it is our policy that cake, cupcakes, cookies and other sugary snacks
and drinks not be sent to school to celebrate. We will mark the special day with
a healthy snack and a celebration activity that day. Thanks for your support in
creating a healthier school for us all!
Sincerely,
The Lou Henry Staff

Parents will be getting connect-ed calls and brief information about Dangerous Intruder Trainings that the schools will be doing with all students district wide.
These are NOT active shooters drills. There will NOT be any officers running
through the buildings and shooting or anything. Teachers are just going to be
discussing with students what to do in cases of dangerous intruders in buildings. They will be discussing the run and hide options and the where they need
to go and what to do. More information will come out as soon as it is provided
from the district.
