LCTA PTA News Community Connect Program "The greatness of a community is most accurately measured by the compassionate actions of its members." - Coretta Scott King Introducing our Community Connect Program: In light of the COVID-19 situation, our LCTA PTA board is brainstorming on how we as a community can best strengthen and encourage one another as we balance work, distance-learning, childcare, and self-care while keeping worries — both our children’s and our own — under control. We don’t have to do it alone. This program is designed to connect LCTA community members to each other to provide support and foster relationships. And also a way for parents to connect and share ideas regarding home schooling, fun projects, etc. Our hope is that this program will provide a means through which we can truly be there for each other and we highly encourage you to participate! Enrollment: https://www.lctapta.org/communityconnect Feedback During this unprecedented time we welcome any feedback you have for the LCTA PTA. Feel free to visit our feedback survey at any time. It will remain up on our website and continue to evolve. General Membership Meetings Thanks to all who attended our April General Membership meeting. It was really great to see everyone's face.

Racket Sport Skills Online Resources for Staying Active at Home Mr. Abed - peter.abed@acps.k12.va.us Library with Ms. Knoll Join Mrs. Knoll in her Google classroom for stories and activities. Currently she is reading James and the Giant Peach, by Roald Dahl. If you'd like to follow along, her Google Classroom code is cjtx6oz. For kindergarten, first and second grades, Mrs. Knoll has a read aloud on Tuesdays and Thursdays. These can be accessed through the Lion Tales, or from Mrs. Knoll at brigitte.knoll@acps.k12.va.us. Art with Ms. St. Louis I have indicated which grade levels I will be gearing my lessons for, but that does not mean a student cannot attend a session higher or lower than their grade. Please be respectful and responsible and remember that I cannot admit a student into a Zoom meeting without proper identification ie "Awesome Me" is not someone I can admit. And as always these meetings are voluntary and not required. I love seeing everyone and I miss you all very much. If there are any questions please feel free to email me: marisa.stlouis@acps.k12.va.us Take care and keep on creating! Art Zoom Schedule Missing music with Ms. Seto?
