ROOM PARENT INFORMATION
Please check your Email!
Room Parents have been emailed information about an upcoming meeting to discuss Door Prize Baskets. Please check your email! PLEASE also check your email for a SignUpGenius link to log your class’ basket THEME.
ROOM PARENTS NEEDED
There are still several classes in need of Room Parents and MANY classes who have only one Room Parent. We are so thankful to those parents who have already volunteered and appreciate your support. Room Parents are often (especially this year), very key in helping the class stay connected and engaged with one another and the Homeroom Teacher. Please take a look at the La Liaison Facebook page for information on which classes are in need of a Room Parent. Your participation helps your child’s teacher and class come together for a successful year!
DOOR PRIZE DONATIONS
Please be on the lookout for information from your Room Parent(s) regarding Door Prize Baskets. The themes are being announced, and like Marché Baskets, donations will be collected and assembled for an upcoming PTO event that will be announced shortly. We are awaiting Permit approval.
THANKSGIVING LUNCHEON
Through your generosity, individually packaged Thanksgiving lunches and desserts are being provided to each member of the Faculty & Staff at LFNO from Toups Meatery and Laurel Street Bakery.*
The LFNO Thanksgiving luncheon has always been a time when our community has come together to show the Faculty & Staff how much we appreciate them in the most New Orleans way – with a home cooked meal shared and served by members of our community. While COVID may restrict in-person participation this year, it has not restricted your hearts and your capacity to give freely of what you have to share. Thank you for showing your THANKSGIVING to our LFNO Team & Family.
*Whether “herbivore” or “omnivore,” dietary needs were taken into consideration to ensure inclusion for each person.
