This has been quite a week. The snow coming down on Thursday was quite exciting for all of us. At one point in the morning the scene outside the classroom windows was, as Hailey in first grade said, as if “we are inside a snow globe.” Because of the school closures this week we were not able to send home our weekly newsletter. Below you will find a link to a downloadable copy. dec19.pdf
As we come to the end of the calendar year, and with Winter Break starting, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish all of our families the very best and to thank all of you for the opportunity to work with the students, families and staff of Lewis Elementary School. I consider it a great honor to do so. I hope you have an enjoyable and restful break and I look forward to seeing everyone back at school on Monday, January 5, 2009.
Best wishes,
Tim Lauer

We have recently had several of our classrooms take advantage of the Cooley Art Gallery at Reed College. These trips provide our students with an opportunity to visit the campus and work with Reed students and staff. This past week students in grades K, 3, 4 and 5, visited the gallery. In addition our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students visited the Reed College Canyon and released salmon they had been raising in their classroom as part of our Reed College Biology Outreach Program. We greatly appreciate the support that Reed provides.
