Happy Holidays Lowell Families,
We have a very short week and then school will be closed until January 5th. I hope families have a happy and relaxing break. I know that students and teachers will return to school refreshed and ready to take on new challenges in the new year.
I want to thank all of the parents that have been involved in the Lowell School community during the first part of the year. The Lowell School is lucky to have parents that support our efforts. If you have not become involved please consider volunteering or supporting the PTO to keep the Lowell Community strong.
PTO
The next PTO meeting is Tuesday, January 13th, 2015 @ 7:00.
International Night is on Friday, January 30th
Have a great break!

Good Morning Lowell Families,
Most of you have probably heard the news that Ms. Kaplan's leave has been extended until the end of the school year. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to continue working at the Lowell School for the rest of the year.
