The teachers, class liaisons, and PTA are working hard to plan meaningful and festive
ways to celebrate our 5th Graders as they wrap up their elementary school chapter at
LCTA. We hope the final week of school sends them off with fond memories,
cherished friendships, high spirits & high hopes for what is ahead.

No more than one person (adult) to accompany each student (so as to not exceed lifeguard capacity*)

If your child is not a strong swimmer, you must be in the water with your child

Party ends promptly at 3:30

We ask that chaperones help manage and facilitate the party and stay for clean-up
-
What to bring: Bathing suit, towel, sunscreen, water bottle, shoes for sports (optional), money (optional) for snack bar

Optional: We will have a designated tented picnic area for our group, so if you’d like, please bring treats, sides, drinks to share (store-bought, individually packaged)
-
We want as many of our 5th graders as possible to participate in the pool party, so if there are
circumstances preventing participation (financial, logistical, childcare for other children, etc),
please let your classroom liaison know. -
