The superb LPE Battle of the Books team competed at Oak Ridge High School to show their understanding of this year’s Sunshine State Young Readers Award (SSYRA) books. Battle of the Books is when students read books and come together in groups to demonstrate their abilities and to test their knowledge of the books they have read. Congratulations to the team on a job well done!
In honor of Earth Day, LPE’s kindergarten families created “recycle robots.” Families worked together to create a robot completely out of materials that would be thrown away, including cans, cartons and boxes. The kids had a lot of fun sharing their creative creations.
Laureate Park Elementary’s first ever K-Kids’ Student of the Year is Robert Cabello. K-Kids is a service leadership program that is part of Kiwanis. Robert was chosen for his dedication to our community service projects as well as his academic success and his leadership qualities. We are very proud of Robert and wish him much success as he moves on to middle school next year!
During the first week of May, the fantastic Laureate Park Elementary PTA showered our teachers with appreciation. Heartfelt gratitude goes to our parents, volunteers, sponsors and PTA for a fabulous week filled with so much appreciation for our teachers. Our staff loved the daily breakfasts and lunches that were provided. Our teachers had the opportunity to participate in a Survivor-themed team building activity. It has truly been a fun week! Thank you Laureate Park Elementary families for your support!
