Dear Lockhart Families: As part of our PARP Week, we are running a Book Fairies collection. If you are looking to get rid of some old books, Book Fairies is the best way to clean them out and give to a great cause at the same time. There are boxes in the main lobby for the rest of the week.
Dear Lockhart Families: We continued our 2025 PARP Week this morning with our Book Reunion Event! All students visited last year's classes for a reunion and our Kindergarten met with their 5th grade teaching buddies. The entire staff helped by being in the classrooms as well. Everyone loved being back together for this amazing event. Please continue to log those reading minutes and send in the Reading Slips everyday. We are over 32,000 minutes already!
