Summer Construction
Dear families,
We have appreciated everyone's patience and understanding during arrival and  dismissal this week. The construction on Armour has made life a little complicated for all of us.
According to
the KCMO Public Works website
, updated May 16, the work being done on Armour between Gillham and Holmes should be completed today, Friday, May 18. Work will continue along the Armour corridor from Holmes to the Paseo next week.
Have a great weekend!
Madame Royce

Oak Journée Culturelle May 30
Thanks to the great response we received last year, Journée Culturelle will take place again, Wednesday, May 30 at the Oak Campus.
The theme for this year's program is "
Liberty and Freedom Around the World."
Unlike the winter concert, which is mandatory for students and teachers, the spring
Journée Culturelle is voluntary.
Teachers are volunteering extra time to help students learn songs, skits, and dances from around the world. However, not all teachers are able to do this because of other classroom commitments.
In addition, even if your student's class is participating
not all students in the class will be in the performance because it is voluntary. We understand that spring is a very busy time for some students with sports and other commitments so students were offered the opportunity to volunteer to perform.
Students who are not in the production will participate as audience members during the daytime student-only performance. Parents please do not plan to come to the daytime performance because of space constraints.
There will be a repeat parent performance that evening on
May 30,
from
5:30- 7:00
. Please plan to join us!
Thank you for your strong support of our school.

AL Alumna Spotlight
Hayley Stock, AL alumna, competed in the Money Smart Kansas City Youth Shark Tank Business Competition on May 8. Her team from Lincoln Preparatory Academy earned second place (a trophy and $500 for the team) out of teams from Jackson and Johnson County.
They had to make a business plan based off of a template in approximately two hours.
 The template was a federally funded pop-up during the summer. Their business was a pop-up booth that rents out headphones to focus only on certain noises and specialized sunglasses to protect photophobic eyes from solar radiation during the summer.
Her team of Lincoln Preparatory JROTC Cadets included: Ahriyah Moore, Michelle Sall, and Breyonne Roland. (Michele Sall is from Lyon, France. Hayley and Michelle talked in French together and they came up the idea of "Eveillons nos Senses." That means "Wake our Senses.")
Congratulations Hayley!

Lafayette is on the horizon. We are, of course, referring to the addition of our new school building (located at 201 E. Armour Blvd) that will be our new Middle School beginning in the 2018-2019 school year. Though this is very exciting news, a lot of work will be going into the organization of the move between the three campus buildings. 
Kindergarten Parent Orientation nights will take place at both Oak and Cherry Campuses this year.
