Ms. Vanfossen is such a talented and hardworking teacher!
Ms. Vanfossen uses her amazing ideas, unique style and personality to shape many of her lessons. She uses her creativity to plan thoughtful lessons for all students. Ms. Vanfossen always considers what is best for students first and incorporates the different ways that she relates to students within her lessons daily. She has been a steady loving example to all students; but especially to many students that struggled with behavior. Ms. Vanfossen is also patient and kind when working with her team and her students. She is student focused; always thinking of how to best help her students. She is a collaborator; always willing to learn from and support her teammates. Ms. Vanfossen is also a team player; always willing to help out her team in any way she can. She is also sweet and supportive; not only as a teammate, but as a friend as well.

Ms. Cheatwood is inclusive of everyone. She is kind, thoughtful, generous and patient with all students and staff. She is a great teammate and friend; willing to listen, share ideas and suggestions, and learn from and support her teammates when needed.

We recently began recognizing outstanding readers on campus weekly!
With the help of our media specialist we track the number of words each class reads per week, and we celebrate the students with the most words read for the week, It is another wonderful opportunity to celebrate all the positive things happening at LCE!

Our kindergarten students had their first ever field trip—and it was a hit!
They went to see the Junie B. Jones Play at the Orlando Family Stage. They are looking forward to another field trip later in the year.
| |
|
We want to continue to celebrate our students tracking their goals.
Our students have really locked in to their learning and are ready to continue to Level Up! We are so proud of them. 🙂

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for (audience)? Why should they care (benefit)? What do I want them to do (call-to-action)?
Create a great offer by adding words like "free," "personalized," "complimentary," or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take action, so consider inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
