Lewis Elementary

🍎 Help Us Clear Teacher Wishlists! 📚✨

Many teachers spend their own money on classroom supplies, books, student incentives, and other items that help create engaging learning environments. While grants can help with some needs, they often don't cover the extras that make classrooms welcoming, motivating, and fun for students.

If you're able, consider purchasing an item from a teacher's wishlist. Every contribution makes a difference!

Can't give right now? You can still help by sharing this post and helping us spread the word.

Teacher wishlists will be linked in the comments below. Thank you for supporting our Panthers and the teachers who pour so much into them! 💙🐾

🎉 Help Us Reach 1,000 Panthers! 🐾💙
We are getting closer and closer to 1,000 Facebook followers, and we'd love to hit that milestone before the first day of school! 📚✏️

We're currently at 882 followers, which means we need just 118 more Panthers to join our online family!

Mark your calendars, Panther families!

Are you getting ready to clean out your kids closet to make way for Back to School shopping. Take the stress out of donating your kids old school uniforms and bring them to our Swap 'n Shop "Back To School Edition".

On August 5th from 6-7:30 pm, the Temple Terrace Junior Woman's Club will be holding their very popular Swap N Shop at Woodmont Clubhouse. Simply bring any items you want to exchange and stay to "shop" for new items you may want or need. This is a free clothing and item exchange so no cash is ever needed.

As with every Swap n' Shop that we host any leftover clothing items will be donated to local charities.

Have items or school uniforms that you want to donate but can't make the event? Send us a message and we will arrange to pick it up from you!

See you on August 5th!

❤️🖤💚 Today we honor Juneteenth, a celebration of freedom, resilience, and progress. We encourage our Panther families to take a moment to reflect, learn, and celebrate the significance of this important day.

Happy Juneteenth! ❤️🖤💚
