WHAT GOES ON AT LYBROOK—

Our students made pictures for Veteran’s Day.

First Graders had a Veterans’ Day parade.

We participated in the STUFF A TRUCK program. (thanks to Ms. Moran).

Some students will be making Christmas cards for the veterans.

We have many respectful, responsible and safe Lybrook Kids. 

We are encouraging our kids to learn their Math Facts.  Please help them review at home

ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO ACT KINDLY TOWARDS OTHERS
All of us want our children to grow up to be kind and caring.  Here’s a simple way you can help.
With your child, make a list of all the children in his/her class.  Each day, ask your child to choose a different name from the list.  Talk about a specific way she could show kindness to the student during the day.  You can remind your child by putting a note in her lunch box or a little sticker in her agenda.  After school, discuss what acts of kindness your child did.
