Celebrating our Community

If anyone is interested, the beautiful Santa Fe Trail will be hosting a 5K run to those who wish to celebrate in it's splendor (for it is pretty great!)---or perhaps for those who just enjoy good exercise.  It's centered at Lindsley Park and promises to be an event worth getting involved in...so here's the link to sign up:

The event is presented by Run On and will benefit the Friends of the Santa Fe Trail.

Registration is $25.

Additionally, the Lindsley Park Parent Organization will be having a garage sale fundraiser sometime in October.  So don't throw or give anything away until then.  All funds raised are used strictly at our little school for various programs and supplies.  Please support in anyway you can.  More detailed information will come in the weeks to come.

News and Features

If you are interested in having your children keep up with news and current events, yet are discouraged with having to sift through the gore to find appropriate topics---I have a few sites that you might be interested in:

Although some material is geared for children older than ours at LPCS, there is certainly enough articles and film to satisfy the 1st through 3rd graders.

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day holiday!
