Hello Linsford families,
We would like to extend a Happy Mother's Day to all of our wonderful LPS Mothers. May you all enjoy some memorable moments this weekend!
We have an important parent meeting coming up on May 28 for 2025-2026 EIPK (pre-school) and Kinder parents. Both programs will be half day programs next year and we have some new information to share. Please plan to attend for a short meeting. EIPK parents are at 6:00 pm and Kinder parents are at 6:30 pm. Hope to see you all there.
Recess has become challenging for some students and there have been some instances of name calling and hands-on or play-fighting. Please talk with your child(ren) about the importance of a kind and safe play environment. Thank you for your support with this!
Have a wonderful week!
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles
LPS Admin Team

Thank you to everyone who supported our BMR & Arber Greenhouse Fundraiser. We sold 295 gift cards, raising $1475 for our playground! Happy greenhouse shopping, everyone!
Our treat sale went really well, but we still have some chips and a bit of chocolate left over, so we will have one more sale on Thursday, May 15. Thank you for your support!
Our next fundraiser for the playground is from Wilhauk Beef Jerky. Please click on the link below to get a form.
We are also able to get gift cards if that is your preference, rather than product! The sale starts now and the cut off date for orders is: May 23. Orders will arrive just in time for Father's Day on June 12 or 13. Details for delivery will be confirmed when the order is ready.
