Dear Lyons Upper Elementary Family,
As I sit down to write this I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude and emotion. During this difficult time, the outpouring of love, support, and kindness from our faculty, staff, TCBOE, students, parents, and the entire community has truly touched my heart.
Thank you for the generous donations, heartfelt cards/letters, warm hugs, and your constant prayers. Each gesture has made a significant difference in my family's life. I am truly humbled by the strength of our community and the compassion you have all shown me at this time.
Your unwavering support reminds me of the extraordinary bond we share at Lyons Upper Elementary. Together, we create a nurturing environment where love and kindness prevail. I am proud to be a part of such an incredible community.
Thank you once again for your kindness and support. I am grateful to each and every one of you. Today was a wonderful day! I am so happy to be back at work to see my babies, and get back to a new normal.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Mrs. Stone
Principal

LUES FAMILY FOCUS: READING STRATEGIES
Just Read! Don't get caught up on what your child wants to read; they have structured and intentional reading at school. Let them explore comics, magazines, or recipes at home. The goal is just for them to read!

LUES FAMILY FOCUS: READING STRATEGIES
Be a Role Model: Demonstrate your love for reading by setting aside time for your own reading interests. Children often emulate their parents' habits, so seeing you with a book could prove to be very powerful.
