Did you know that One Community LG, through the LGEF, funds our elementary PE teachers? Our PE teachers interact with every student on every campus. In collaboration with the classroom teachers, PE teachers, Mr. Mee and Coach Rance, focus on teaching our students strategies for physical and personal growth and by encouraging a positive attitude towards skill development. They also work on teamwork and controlled competitiveness as well as organizing exciting games to help our students develop their skills while having lots of fun. Ask your child to tell you about the fun activity they played this week in PE. To find out more about what your contributions to One Community LG will benefit, please visit onecommunitylg.org.

FOOD SERVICE UPDATE

Thank you for your support of the universal meal program. This program is provided free of charge to all students through Federal grants and does not require any signup. Since the beginning of the school year we have begun serving over 1800 meals per day. This is a new program for our staff and we have had some challenges securing supplies and meeting the published menus. We have been improving each week and expect, with your patience and participation, to move toward more scratch cooked meals with fresh ingredients.

The menu is updated each week and the link is Menu Link.

If you have questions, please contact Terese McNames at tmcnamee@lgusd.org
