Dear Lockhart Families: As a school tomorrow, we will celebrate Veterans Day. It is one of our most special and heartwarming events every year and we look forward to honoring those who served our country. We invite all students and staff to wear red, white, and blue as part of this day. Grades 3-5 students will attend our Veterans Day Ceremony at 9:15. This is our way to pay tribute to the Veterans in our country and the Lockhart community. Parents of our Grade 5 Chorus were sent a separate email about the ceremony.

Dear Lockhart Families: Thank you so much for making this our best and most special Make A Wish Walk A Thon yet! The excitement was in the air and we cannot thank our students, families, and staff enough for everything they did to make this event a success. What a great way to kickoff our fundraising! We have many delicious cookies left and they will be on sale tomorrow and Monday during the lunch periods for $1 each courtesy of our PTA. All grades will be able to purchase cookies so feel free to send in your children with money to purchase. As always, all proceeds go directly to our Make A Wish total.
Dear Lockhart Families: Tomorrow, is a busy day at Lockhart. In the morning, we have our Photo Retake Day and 5th Grade Club Photos. If any student is retaking their photo, they can come dressed appropriately for that. That goes for our 5th graders as well. However, we also ask that our 5th graders bring their Class of 2027 shirt as they wear that for club photos, the '27 photo, and the playground photo. After school, we are excited for our 38th Annual Make A Wish Walk A Thon, the official kickoff event of Make A Wish! From 3:00-4:00, students, staff, and families will gather on the back lawn to drum up excitement for our Make A Wish campaign. Students will get lap sheets and stickers to record their laps and there will be plenty of items for sale, with all proceeds going to our Make A Wish donation. As always, there will be hot cocoa, cookies, and items for sale from our Student Council like squishies and digital clickers. We have many new items as well including special items made by our staff that are sure to be a hit. Back by popular demand is our Student Experiences! Students can purchase raffle tickets and drop them in the bags to potentially win an experience/activity with our teachers. Many teachers have come up with fun activities that will take place at either 8:00 or during lunch/recess. A list of the activities is below as well as the list of items for sale. There will also be a face painting table with Ms. Ahearne, Ms. Tucci, and Mrs. Merz. We hope everyone can attend and make this our best Walk A Thon yet! PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A CASH ONLY EVENT. Students can also wear Lockhart gear on this day if they are not doing photo retakes.

All staff and students will exit the K/1 dismissal doors and head towards the basketball court. Students will loop around the court and head back down the blacktop on the edge of the grass.

Parents are asked to remain on the grass and keep the blacktop clear.

Dear Lockhart Families: Something we are very proud of at Lockhart is our Book Swap Cart. Created last year, we transformed an old cart into a permanent Book Swap Cart, where students can bring in books from home that they do not read anymore, place them on the cart, and take home another book they would like to read. It's free, it's easy, and it gives kids the chance to read something new! The cart was beautifully painted by our Art Teacher, Ms. Ahearne, and the kids love shopping each week. If you have any children's books at home that you would like to send in, have your child bring them in and swap them out. The cart is outside the Library every day of the year.
Dear Grade 4 and 5 Parents: During the year, several staff members run after school clubs. We are happy to announce the return of our SADD Club for our 4th and 5th grade students, with a new Mindfulness component! SADD empowers students to make healthy choices and lead positive lives. The club’s mission is to provide young people with the tools to prevent destructive decisions related to underage drinking, drug use, and unsafe behaviors — while encouraging kindness, leadership, and community involvement. This year, students will also explore mindfulness to support their emotional well-being. If you are interested in having your child join the club, please use the link below to sign up.

Dear 5th Grade Families: We are very excited for the 5th Grade Circus on Friday. The performance will be 6:30pm at McKenna in the gym. One update to our previous email. The Circus Company is asking for the kids to arrive at 6:15, not 5:45. They said that is plenty of time to have them ready to go for the 6:30 show time. All students must arrive in their red circus shirt, except the students who are performing as clowns. They should arrive in their clown outfits and makeup. We will let the students in first and then have the families follow. There is plenty of seating in the bleachers.
Dear Lockhart Families: Next week has a lot of fun events planned for the kids! Our PTA has their annual Pumpkin Patch on October 27, the PTA Trunk or Treat is October 30, and our annual Halloween Parade is also on the 30th. All families are invited to the back field to watch the parade. Kids will come out the K-1 dismissal door, head left towards the basketball court, loop around and back into the Grade 2/3 dismissal door. We will do two laps. Parents are invited to either line the blacktop or the field inside the cones. There will be Halloween music playing and great costumes for all! The parade starts at 9:15 and the gates will open at 9:00. Below is a link to the memo with more information.
