Happy Spring, Locust families! The children are thrilled that the weather is getting warmer and they have more time outdoors! Springtime at Locust will be filled with learning and experiencing all of the wonderful things Spring will bring! Our beautification committee will soon be decorating the front of the school to reflect the beauty of the season.
We had a busy March at Locust. The classes enjoyed field trips and parents had the opportunity to meet with the teachers at Parent Teacher Conferences. Locust students enjoyed Rocking their Crazy Socks in support of World Down Syndrome Day. We also hosted a very successful hybrid joint primary PTA meeting with a wonderful presentation by the primary school psychologists and social worker.
Thank you to everyone who donated and attended the PTA Dinner! The event was a huge success. This is such an important event that benefits our children and schools. It is incredible to see the outpouring of support and generosity from the community to make this event the amazing tradition that it is.
We will be having our Staff Appreciation Luncheon on Friday, May 2nd to celebrate all of the wonderful teachers and staff at Locust. Please look out for a SignUpGenius that will have ways you can support the luncheon.
The Sportswear Shop is currently open until Friday, April 25th. Pick up will take place on Saturday, June 7th. Keep a look out for emails about an exciting collaboration with GOAT USA!
