National Book Month is a month-long celebration that takes place in October to promote the importance of reading, writing, and literature.
Here are some ways to celebrate National Book Month:
- Read: Pick up a new book or make time to read.
- Support our Scholastic Book Fair: see details below.
- Attend Stories Under the Stars: see details below
- Make a character costume: Encourage kids to dress up as their favorite book character, if you dress up for Halloween.
Some benefits of reading include:
- Improved vocabulary and memory
- Expanded knowledge
- Lowered stress
- Improved comprehension and critical thinking skills
- Developed creativity and imagination
- Improved focus and concentration
- Increased empathy and compassion
This year's Scholastic Book Fair is scheduled for October 14th -18th. As part of our Book Fair week, PTA has organized a Stories Under the Stars Event on October 16th, from 6-7:30 p.m.
During our Stories Under the Stars Event teachers and staff will open their classroom to families to listen to a read aloud. Afterwards, PTA will provide refreshments (milk, cookies, and water) in the MU and Principal Callaway-Wilson and Assistant Principal Ramirez will also read a story.
We will offer evening Book Fair hours on October 16th from 5-5:40 p.m. and 7:30-8:00 p.m.

This year, as part of our Continous Improvement efforts at the school level, teachers are asking students what is important to them in their classroom community. Students' voices are then captured as a classroom mission statement. Each mission statement is different because it reflects the classroom community that created it.
Classroom Mission Statements support Continous improvement by reminding us
Who are we? What do we value?
and by defining
How will we work together?
What do we want to accomplish? What are our goals?
We will feature different mission statements throughout this school year.
This Classroom Mission Statement is from our 5th grade classes.

Dear Lynhaven Families,
While it easy to be caught up in the rush of morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, we ask that you always prioritize safety. Drivers need to follow all the rules of the road, including the posted School Zone speed limit of 25 mph.
Just as you want drivers to be safe near your homes, our Lynhaven neighbors ask that all of our drivers are safe near their homes.
Every instructional minute does count. No instructional minutes count more than each of us doing our part to keep the community safe.
Want to report unsafe driving or traffic violations on the city streets near school? Please report them to the City of San Jose at (408) 277-8900. Want to request a speed monitor from the City of San Jose? Please contact them at (408) 535-3850.
In partnership,
Ms. Callaway-Wilson,
Principal
