Dear Lynhaven Families,
This week The NED Show came to Lynhaven! The message of NED is simple: Never Give up, Encourage Others, Do Your Best and if students strive to be more like NED, they will have a great mindset for learning!
Don’t forget to ask your student what they learned in the show about having a growth mindset from YET the Yeti, Captain Kindly and during NED’s visit on the spaceship!
Here are a couple of our favorite follow up home resources from the Mindset Mission website. You may want to use these with your child as they are designed to go hand in hand with the program.
If you'd like additional resources, they are available here.
Save the Date:
11/10 Veterans Day (No School)
11/17 Picture Makeup Day
11/20-11/24 Thanksgiving Break (No School)

Lunch Applications
It is extremely helpful to us to have our families fill out our free and reduced lunch application. This can be found using this link, or going to our district website. The benefits in having our families apply may result in technology grants, reduced internet, food assistance, and improved infrastructure to our child nutrition program.

After School Pick Up

**Please note that 30 minutes or more raises concern.
As a reminder school is out at:
TK-3rd at 2:10 pm / 1:10 pm Wednesdays
