Shout Out to Our Substitutes!
An extra special shout-out to the committed substitutes who serve our Leopards long-term, and short-term, both planned ahead and last-minute calls! We especially love seeing our families rise to the occasion of serving to support our littles!
In-Person or Online Book Fair
The Lead Mine PTA and Scholastic are partnering to have an in-person and/or online book fair from November 28th through December 2nd! Each Leopard will have a day to 'browse' the fair - creating a wish list and then a 'buy day'. The fair will also be open for families to come to browse and buy on Thursday, December 1st from 3:30pm-5:00pm - followed by a winter chorus concert at 5:00pm!

Ms. Peters and Ms. Potts Bring Such Positive Energy to Lead Mine!
Ms. Peters wants to make sure our students have what they need to succeed, so she created a DonorsChoose classroom request: Author/Illustrator Study of Ezra Jack Keats and the Snowy Day (https://www.donorschoose.org/project/authorillustrator-study-of-ezra-jack-ke/7013680/?rf=email-system-2022-11-project_submitted-teacher_3697410&challengeid=22044442&utm_source=dc&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=project_submitted
Help Ms. Potts give our students fluorescent art materials for an unforgettable science + art collaboration!
