Each month we hold a special celebration to encourage students and families to walk or bike to school. On Tuesday students enjoyed hot chocolate on the playground before school. After school Mike from The Bike Gallery on Woodstock set up shop on the playground offering free bike checks and adjustments. We would like to thank our parent and community volunteers who work to make these events possible. Also special thanks to The Bike Gallery for their continued support.

Today our PTA held their annual Holiday Bazaar. It was a great event, helping use raise money for PTA projects and for our 4th and 5th grade trips to OMSI Science Camp. We would like to thank all the parent and community volunteers who worked to make the event so successful. Also our vendors who generously donated a portion of their sales to our PTA, and to the our Bazaar Committee for their many hours of work making this event possible. Thank you all. It was a great fall day at Lewis.
The Lewis Elementary Holiday Bazaar is this Saturday, November 7th from 10 am – 3 pm. This is the first opportunity of the year for purchasing holiday gifts. Here is what you can expect to find . . . we have over 90 artists (including children, parents and teachers of Lewis) coming with their high quality items. These items are often one of a kind or made in small runs. Give a truly unique gift this year by shopping at this sale. When you support the Lewis Holiday Bazaar you help raise funds for our school while helping artists earn a living, supporting the local economy and you can get unique gifts for the holidays. Everyone wins!!
Student Made Items. Remember, you are encouraged to come to the Bazaar at 9:30 to guarantee that your child's handmade card will still be available for purchase. After 10 am the cards are available on a first come first serve basis. Thanks for supporting this and other PTA sponsored events!Posted via email from Lewis Elementary School
For the past two days, James Thomson has been working on our cob bench making final additions and adding finishing touches. Today he finished the majority of the work on the bench and added a rough plaster coat to the structure. This will take several days to dry and James plans to return in the spring to do some retouching and add a final coat of plaster to the bench. If you have not yet had an opportunity to see the finished project, I encourage you to take a look. (but please do not sit on the bench yet…)
