From the Principal’s Pen

Dear Laurel Hill Families,

Thanks to all the teachers and PTA members who supported our Literacy Night last week and thank you to the students and families who attended. Please check out the One School, One Book website under the picture gallery to see all of the habitats each class created and other pictures.  What a great event!

We practiced our tornado drill last week, and will be practicing our lockdown drill next week.  These drills can sometimes be unsettling for students, but we want to assure you they are a vital part of our comprehensive safety plan.  We take the safety and well-being of your children very seriously, and these drills help us ensure that everyone know what to do in case of an emergency.

Kindly, remember our SCA is collecting donations for the Lorton Animal Shelter.  Please turn in donations by March 14th.  We hope everyone is enjoying this spring weather!

Sincerely,

Janice Dalton, Principal

Addison Smith, Assistant Principal

Thmeaka Traylor, Assistant Principal

Ramadan

Ramadan

 

Ramadan Mubarak to those in our community who observe! In Islam, Ramadan is the most sacred month of the year. During this month Muslims abstain from food and drink from dawn to sunset each day while striving to increase their spirituality, through prayers, charity, and good deeds. Muslims believe it was during this month that God revealed the first verses of the Holy Quran to Prophet Muhammad. #OurFCPS
