This year we are trying to make a really big push for the box tops and community coffee labels fundraisers school wide. Box tops are little pink labels that can be found on a variety of different foods and household items and each box top label has a value of 10 cents. When these box tops are turned in, they represent cash donated back to our school.
Other schools our size are raising about $6,000.00 a year from box tops. We raised about $550 last year due to the efforts of parent Darren Beltz. We are trying to give him a big hand this year!
To assist with collecting, we are having a contest that every class will participate in. Each class will have a central spot for turning in box tops and keeping count. Specific collection information will be received through room parents and class coordinators. Classes that turn in 1,500 box tops will receive a popsicle party or hot chocolate party (depending on weather). The class with the most box tops will receive a popcorn movie party at the Patton campus and a pizza party at the Johnson campus.
There will be two collection dates, November 1, and April 1. Box tops can be sent in however any time after September 1.
Community Coffee Cash for Schools is a similar program, collecting “Proofs of Purchase” from Community products (coffee, tea, sugar, creamer, etc.). These labels will be collected the same way as the box tops and their value is also 10 cents per “Proof of Purchase”.
Get your friends and family to collect box tops with you and keep an eye out for Community Coffee labels at your workplace. What can we do for our school with $6,000.00?

Parents who choose to park and walk to drop off/pick up a child/children are requested to:
- Park legally. Never block any driveways or park near street corners.
- Enter through the State Street gate only. The State Street gate is the drop off location for all pedestrians.
- Please do not enter from Constance Street or Patton Street.
- Parents who walk their children to school may escort them to the State Street entrance where duty personnel will supervise children as they walk to their classrooms.
- If the child is tardy (arriving after 8:30 AM), the parent/guardian must accompany the child to the Patton Street entrance.

The carpool line begins at the Constance Street gate. Students names will be called and children escorted for boarding vehicles in the schoolyard. Parents are asked to refrain from lining up for carpool before 4:05. This practice will maintain neighborly rapport and prevent traffic back-ups.
The placard should be visibly displayed on the driver’s side dashboard. Do not enter the carpool line from Magazine St. onto Nashville or Eleonore Street to Constance. Following this practice will ensure that no traffic ever backs up onto Nashville to Magazine Street. Parents are expected to be courteous and follow the protocol.

In accordance with AHERA, Asbestos Hazardous Emergency Response Act, a Management Plan has been prepared for each campus and approved by the State Department of Environmental Quality, DEQ. This management plan is available for review in the Principal's Office (for Patton building) and in the Director of Facilities Office (Johnson building) during school hours. A copy of the plan will be made available at the cost of $25.00 (which covers the cost of reproduction).

Please keep an eye out for next week’s Etre, where there will be updates on a new procedure for parents picking up on foot, to begin September 17th.

Johnson Security Brief from Officer Derek
Good news for carpool drivers! In the
morning for carpool
, we are now unloading students on Cohn St. while the buses are on Monroe St. Carpool staff will be on Cohn St to receive your students and safely chaperone them to the Cohn St. intake door. The Traffic Detail will be directing carpool traffic to go straight on Cohn St. and to not turn right on Monroe St. while the buses are still on campus. The reason for this is to prevent vehicle accidents with the buses as they often reverse to leave campus. Once the buses have departed Monroe St. (around 8 am) the Traffic Detail will then direct carpool traffic to turn onto Monroe St. moving the carpool line back to where it normally is. This is all to keep drop off smooth and fast while also keeping everyone safe from potential harm & accidents.
A few safety reminders for daily arrival and dismissal:
- Please do not use your mobile devices while driving - this is illegal and very dangerous during carpool, in a school zone, and all the time.
- Monroe St. is a one way street between Cohn St. and Hickory St. from 7-9 a.m. and 2:30-4:30 p.m. to allow for a smooth and safe arrival and dismissal.
- Monroe St, directly in front of the building, is a 15 minute parking area at all times. Please park on other surrounding streets for anything that may take more than 15 minutes.
- From time to time NOPD or OPSD Traffic Officers will monitor traffic and issue tickets for illegal vehicle activity around the school. Let’s practice vehicular safety all the time.
- Please do not park blocking or obstructing driveways or rights of way. Please help us in being good neighbors in the Leonidas neighborhood!
If at any time you have any concerns or safety issues please feel free to contact any member of the LFNO Johnson Campus Security Team. This invitation also goes out to the LFNO Patton Campus as we are all family! Once again, “Thank you”.
Derek Griffin
Security Officer, supervisor
