GIFT TO RANDOLPH SCHOOL!

Remember the fun you had playing on the Randolph playground?  As part of our healthy living emphasis, we’re looking to complete a walking track here.

As a Randolph parent, I thought you’d like to be in on this project to finish our walking path!

We need 207 feet of cement to complete the walking path.  Click on the Foundation for LPS page to donate $34 for a foot, or $102 for a yard, or ANY AMOUNT to our project.

Thank you from current and future Randolph students!

 

Sleep Matters!

Do you want to do better in school?

Research shows that kids who get less sleep don’t do as well in classes because their brain is not fully awake, recovered, and ready to face the day.

 

Would you like to be happier?

Kids who get enough sleep have fewer struggles with depression and are often less moody too!

 

 

Love and Logic Moment:

The Gift of Giving

While at the bank a mother overheard the manager talking about a project his staff was involved in. They were collecting gifts for children in the community who, without their help, would not receive anything. So far they were not doing too well. The mother asked what she could do to help.

 

At dinner she told her family about the project. With pure excitement her kids said that since they had outgrown their bikes, and were hoping for new ones from Santa, they could give their old bikes to these children.

 

That weekend the kids spent hours cleaning their bikes. By the time they were done, those bikes sparkled.

 

They delivered the bikes Monday and the look of pure joy on her children’s faces made Mom’s heart swell. That day they gave her a gift, too: the knowledge that she was raising kids who cared.

 

The holidays are a good time to remind your kids that character is more about giving than receiving.

 

Thanks for reading! Our goal is to help as many families as possible. If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend.
