Lansdowne Elementary

So much fun celebrating BRIGHT futures at today’s 5th Grade Picnic! ☀️

Thank you, and volunteers for making it all happen.

Thank you, teachers for all the work you have put into preparing this year’s Lion graduates.

💙🦁🤍

We’re not crying, you’re crying. 😭

What an honor it was to get to celebrate LES alumni at our Senior Walk today. It was a beautiful reminder of the breadth of our Lansdowne Family. Former students, current students, former staff, and current staff all came together in a new building but with the same ‘ol Lansdowne spirit.

As the song goes, “our Lansdowne is here to stay.” Seniors…go out and show the world your Lansdowne ROAR. We are so proud of you! 🦁💙🤍

A fifth grade exhibition group welcomed special visitors this week. Their action project included collecting school supplies for the Charlotte Rescue Mission to support the academic growth of women in our community. Way to go ladies! Thank you, Mrs. Bentley, for your mentorship!

As we prepare for End-of-Grade (EOG) testing, please review these important reminders to help ensure a smooth and successful experience for all students:

⏰ No Early Dismissals Before 1:00 PM
⏱️ Arrive on Time
😴💪 Be Ready to Do Your Best
📱 Leave Electronics at Home

🍀Good luck! You’ll do great!

Today Mrs. Gartner, Ms. McGlone, and Mrs. Benkendorf of our PTO were honored with a lunch provided by Advanced Studies leadership for their work with this year’s IB Night of Culture. This event was one of three “Visibility Challenge” winners across all IB schools in the district. We can’t wait to see how this event evolves and grows over the coming years! 🌎🦁

Our hearts are full of gratitude for our incredible volunteers who support, enhance, and encourage our teachers and students at Lansdowne.

🚨We need your help! Lansdowne Elementary is collecting new and gently used books to give away as part of our annual Give 5 Read 5 summer reading book swap. We can accept books, juvenile magazines, comics and graphic novels written for Kindergarten to rising 6th grade students. Collection tubs are located outside the front lobby as well as in the Media Center. Materials can be donated Wednesday, May 13th through Wednesday, June 3rd. The giveaway will be on Thursday, June 4th for 5th grade and Friday, June 5th for all other grades.

Students’ reading levels decline over the summer if they do not read. Research has shown that reading just 5 books over the summer can prevent this decline.

📚Our goal is to collect 3,000 books and magazines in order to provide every student with 5 items to read over the summer break. We respectfully request no board books or books of a religious nature.

Please sign up via Parent Square to proctor the EOGs. All proctors must be 18 or older and a registered volunteer! There will be a brief training prior to the test.

We have a particular need for May 28th and June 1st!

Mrs. Ray’s class was totally SOAP-sessed with bubbles today in Lab after making homemade bubble wands with pipe cleaners! 🫧☀️
