Lewis Dines Out Report: Thank you Laughing Planet
We had a great turn out yesterday for Lewis Dines Out day at The Laughing Planet on Woodstock. Laughing Planet is donating 20% of proceeds from yesterday’s sales to Lewis. Our staff took advantage of this opportunity yesterday when a larger number ordered out from Laughing Planet for lunch. We thank Laughing Planet for helping our school and also our PTA for working to make events like this possible.
Lottery Donation to Lewis
Yesterday Lewis took part in a promotion sponsored by the Oregon Lottery called Scratch-it for Schools. Lead by our school secretary Kathy Grahn a team of parents and staff from Lewis took park in the event and as a result raised $962 for our school.
Run For The Arts
Our annual Run for the Arts will take place on April 23. The make up day is scheduled for April 25. On Monday Mr. Woods and Mr. Jamesbarry helped us kick off the run with a short assembly. Pledge sheets were sent home and are due back to school on April 21. This event is our major arts fund raising event and we look forward to your participation. Also I would like to acknowledge the work of our Run For The Arts facilitator, Jeanette Findley. Also I would like to thank Kristin George for her many years of work in this area.
Art Night May 1st
Our 20th annual Art Night will be held on Thursday, May 1 from 6:30 - 8:00 pm. On this evening our hallways will be transformed into an art gallery where student work will be on display. In addition students from our music program will be performing in the cafeteria. Also desserts and drinks will be available for purchase in our Paint Brush Cafe.
Get Ready for Portland Walk + Bike Challenge Month
In May, we will extend the spirit of Walk + Bike Day into a whole month with the first ever Walk + Bike Challenge Month. This event will be a friendly competition between Portland State University and Portland metro area elementary schools to have the greatest number of students walk and bike to school. Walking or biking to school just one day during the month of May will qualify students to win prizes- the more walking and biking students do, the more likely they will be to win! The elementary school with the most number of students walking and biking over the month will win a grand prize. Gregory MacNaughton will help us with this effort and we will have more information to share soon.
