This past month was full of exciting academic events, such as the Spelling Bee, Literacy Week, the first-ever vocabulary parade, and the fifth grade oration contest. Our Longhorns have been busy!
All of our Longhorns, from pre-K to fifth grade, participated in our first vocabulary parade to celebrate literacy week. Each of our students chose a vocabulary word and created a costume around that word. In addition, we celebrated literacy week with flashlight reading and storytellers.
Congratulations to Shiv Jani, our Spelling Bee winner. Students in grades 3-5 competed in the annual Spelling Bee.
The fifth grade team replicated space scenes in their hallway to bring science to life. The idea was to engage students’ interest in learning more about our solar system and general principles of astronomy.
Our fifth grade students recently participated in an oration contest with the theme of “What Does Freedom Mean to Me.” Congratulations to Asad, Kai and Reed, who were the top three winners.
Ms. Quinn’s first grade Kindness Squad is ready to spread some kindness to the students, staff and families at LPE. Each month, these fantastic first graders will complete secret missions!
For the second year in a row, Laureate Park Elementary’s #GoldTogether for Childhood Cancer Relay for Life Team was recognized with the Top School Team Award. Mrs. Stephanie Brauner, advisor of the National Elementary Honor Society, was recognized with the Gordy Klatt Motivator Award. Lara Patel, fifth grade National Elementary Honor Society member, was recognized with the Nona Hero Award.
Laureate Park PTA added something fun and engaging to the science lab: a new 3D printer. We are excited to see how our students and teachers use this new feature in S.T.E.M. learning. PTA was also proud to send our legislative chairs to Tallahassee for three days to legislate and bring the noise for teacher retention in Orange County. PTA recently donated hundreds of new books to our library. The addition to the library will expand the options our students have when checking out books. Laureate Park PTA is committed to advocating for literacy and balancing the need of technology and handheld books.
