Good Morning!! Halloween is fast approaching and I know families and students have many questions. All students are welcome to dress up that day. Hats are allowed, but no masks (except for elementary students during the parade). We also ask no blood, gore or weapons.
Elementary students will have a parade starting at 1:15 pm. We encourage parents and family members to stand outside along the parade route which is up
Monroe Street, to St. Louis Street, then down St. Clair Street,
through the high school, and back to LES. We ask that elementary students follow expectations set forth by their teachers. Please look for communication if you have not already received it.
The high school boys basketball program has team shop open for anyone who would like to buy basketball shoes, basketball socks, compression shorts or a backpack. This is not a fundraiser for the team, they do not get any kickback for any of these items, we just wanted to offer these same deals to any other athletes who might be interested in any of these things.
The high school boys that go out for the team DO NOT have to buy any of these things, it just an opportunity to get some things if they need it. Orders are due no later than the end of the day on Tuesday Oct 31st and can only be placed online at this website:
