Dear Parents and Guardians:
It is hard to believe we are quickly approaching the end of the 1st Nine Weeks here at The Nest! We have had an awesome start, and we cannot that you enough for helping us transition into a brand new here at LES! I am looking forward to exciting new adventures and opportunities for us at LES during the 2024-2025 school year! Great things await!
We indeed have had an incredible 1st Nine Weeks here at LES! Energy, excitement and engagement has filled our classrooms daily, and our students and staff are working hard to ensure that students are on their way to success in their academic endeavors, social skills and life skills! With everyone working TOGETHER, I am confident that the 2024-2025 school year will hold such an abundance of blessings and success for our school family!
As we continue toto move forward into the 2024-2025 school year, I'd like to challenge each of you to commit to reading to your child for at least 30 minutes each day. Research has shown that "reading just 20 minutes a day exposes a child to a vast quantity of words (1.8 million in each school year, actually!). As a result, this exposure makes children more likely to score in the 90th percentile on standardized tests, compared to children who read just 5 minutes per day — and are therefore more likely to score in the 50th percentile — it’s easy to see how reading time translates to academic success. Meanwhile, a separate study involving almost 10 million students showed "only those reading at least 15 minutes a day achieved accelerated reading gains, and those reading less were at risk of falling behind their peers." Thank you for committing to help us building STRONGER READERS at LES!
Again, I'd like to thank you for the help and support you give us at LES. I genuinely love and appreciate each of you and what you do to help our staff, students and Lake Elementary School! As always, I am honored to serve each of you and your families, our school and our community, and I'm BEYOND BLESSED to be a small part of such a wonderful school family! If I can do anything to help you, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Thanks so much,
Mrs. Seale :)
