Locust March 2026 Newsletter
Happy March, Locust Families! I hope everyone enjoyed their winter break plus a few snow days. Spring can’t get here soon enough! I’m sure the children will be happy to get outdoors more.
February was a fun month at Locust. The Sweetheart Craft was a big success! Thank you to everyone that was able to attend and spend some time with their students. Students also celebrated the 100th day of school with such creative t-shirts!
Each year the PTA funds a cultural trip for all First graders in the district. This year, the students
from Homestead, Hemlock, and Locust will have the opportunity to see Dr. Seuss’ Magical Adventure on March 20th at the Plaza Theater.
The annual GC PTA Dinner will be held on March 31st at the Garden City Hotel. This year's dinner theme is "I Belong - Just As I Am." Not only is this event always a fun occasion, it generates money the PTA uses to fund many wonderful things in our school community. Tickets are on sale now!
REMINDER! First Grade Parents: The Locust Memory Book is underway! Please send pictures to
locustmemorybook2526@gmail.com throughout the year as you visit Locust for their events. Pictures can be from field trips, concerts, craft days etc. When sending pictures, please make sure there are at least three Locust students in each picture to ensure every child has a chance to be featured. In the subject line, please write the teacher's name followed by the event name.
Be on the lookout for ordering school supplies for the 26-27 school year. The information will be coming out in the spring.
I am looking forward to a fun filled spring at Locust!
Sincerely,
Lauren Ryan
Locust School PTA Director
