Join us for our fun back to school party this Friday 9/8 from 5 - 8 pm at the LCTA playground! This yearly tradition is always a fun time you don't want to miss out on! Bring your own picnic-style food and drinks (and picnic blankets/chairs, if you would like).
Mr. Softee ice cream truck arrives at 6 pm! Check out the menu here: https://mistersofteedmv.com/our-menu/.
The Uniform Locker will be open from 5:30-7:30 pm, and LCTA merchandise + snacks/water will be available for sale.
Enjoy music + fun times with great friends new and old! Flyer above with more details.
Uniform Locker: Open on 9/8 + Volunteers Requested
Our school is a uniform school. As such, to help support our families, the PTA runs a Uniform Locker, which is stocked with gently used items for your family to shop free of charge. The Uniform Locker will be open on September 9th from 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm (during our Back to School Picnic)! All are welcome!
The Uniform Locker is located by the side entrance of the school, near the school parking lot. Donations are accepted year-round to the front office or at the Locker itself whenever it is open.
If there is a need to access the Locker outside of the times it is open, please contact our social worker, Ms. Kelly Robinson, at kelly.robinson@acps.k2.va.us.
Volunteers Requested: We have more Uniform Locker dates planned, and would love to have your help in operating some dates and times to have the Locker open for our community. If you're able to commit to helping, we'd love to have your involvement! You can learn more here.
Back to School Night on 9/14

Book Fair: 9/18-9/22
Scholastic Book Fair Week is from Monday 9/18 - Friday 9/22! We can't wait for the return of Book Fair Week!
New this year, all sales at the Fair are tax free! 50% of proceeds from the Fair comes back to
the school! Last year we were able to purchase nearly 400 books for our school library!
A preview catalog of bestsellers that will be available at the Fair will be sent home this week, along with
information on how to set up an e-wallet for your student that can be used during the Fair to make purchases.
The Fair will be open to students only during the school day, and they will be able to make purchases with cash and e-wallets.
Fair opening times to families:
Monday: 2:45pm-3:15pm open to families
Tuesday: 5pm-7:30pm Book Fair Family Night with food truck
Wednesday: 2:45pm-3:15pm open to families
Thursday: 2:45pm-3:15pm open to families
Cash, Credit Cards and e-wallets* accepted!
*Please note that once money is added to e-wallet, it can only be used for purchases (including online purchases) and no refunds are issued by Scholastic. Teachers can also create e-wallets and students can support their teachers by donating any amount to their e-wallet that teachers can then use to purchase books!

September Cafeteria Menu
While the kitchen/cafeteria renovation project is ongoing, our amazing Cafeteria Manager, Ms. Laura Purdy, has created a menu for our students that is modified from the regular ACPS menu due to our different space availability during the renovation projection. This modified menu follows below for this month.
