Hats Off to Our PTO!!

As many of you know, we have a great PTO at LIS. Over the past few weeks they have put on not one, but two fantastic events for our students. On October 22th the Lower School held its annual "Family Fall Fest" where 4th graders and their families came together to eat, play games and spend time with each other. Students guessed the weight of "the great pumpkin" as well as how many candy corns were in the big jar. Our new vice principal, Mr. Adam was on hand and although he was way off on both the weight of the great pumpkin and the correct number of candy corns, he couldn't stop talking about how much fun it was for everyone.

The following Friday, October 29th, Upper School students got together for a night of frightful fun at the LIS "Halloween Bash." Students dressed in costumes, played games, ate lots of food and danced to Halloween music, provided by a DJ, all night long. Those who dared to enter the "Haunted House" risked being scared by any number of frightening characters. I dared, and yes I was quite frightened, thank you.

Almost 500 students attended the Halloween Bash, but it wouldn't have been anywhere near the success it was without the help of our parent volunteers. Over 80 parents volunteered their time and efforts to help with some aspect of the evening's event.

We thank all of our parent volunteers for their help, not just with these two events, but all the events that take place at LIS. We couldn't do it without you.
