The excitement of Halloween is in the air, and we know many are wondering — costumes or no costumes?
Students are welcome to wear their costumes to school on Friday, October 31st! We just ask that costumes be school-appropriate and avoid any violent or insensitive themes.
To keep everyone safe and comfortable, please remember that masks and props should stay at home — they can be tricky to manage and may cause distractions during the day.
We can’t wait to see everyone’s festive spirit and creative costumes! 🧡
Tattoo A Teacher...
EarlyAct will be sponsoring a fundraising opportunity for LER. Students will be able to purchase temporary tattoos for teachers and staff to wear on Monday, November 3rd.
Tattoos will be on sale from October 27-30th. Tattoos will be $0.25 per tattoo and students are not limited to how many they can purchase.
All proceeds will be matched by EarlyAct and used to purchase playground items.
Today, Thursday, October 23rd, is an Early Release day in MSAD#11. We will dismiss B&G Club/MIKA at 11:45, Parent Pickups at 11:50 and Bus Riders at 12:00. Parent-Teacher Conferences are also today, 1:00-7:00. If you have not yet scheduled your conference(s), please call the school at (207)582-3612.
Hannaford Helps Schools!
We are excited to announce that this year, the Hannaford Helps Schools program exceeded last year’s record by raising $1,493,267 for 1,751 schools across New England and New York. Included in every school’s total is a $300 base donation provided by Hannaford.
Laura Richards Elementary School raised a total of $798.00, consisting of the $300 base donation and additional funds from 150 community-redeemed coupons directed to your school.
Thank you to our LER families for supporting our students!
Join us in the LER library for our monthly meeting tomorrow, Tuesday October 14th from 5:30p to 6:30p.
Reminder that the Scholastic Book Fair will be held Monday, October 20th through Friday, October 24th in the LER Lobby. We still need volunteers each day of the bookfair to help students select books and run the register. The book fair provides a fun experience of print exposure to all students. Even if a child does not have the funds to pay for a book, GEPTA will sponsor them to select a book of their choice! The book fair also provides credit to teachers so they can add literacy resources to their classroom. Please share this QR code for Sign Up Genius for available time slots. And THANK YOU!
