Amazing Light Farms Families,

This week I want to highlight something special that PISD does for our students. This week, our 3rd graders ventured over to the Natatorium and engaged with swim lessons. This fun and rewarding work helps to ensure that every child has the fundamentals of swimming, as a safety measure and an opportunity for enrichment. Big shout outs go to our PE Coaches, 3rd Grade Team, and the Natatorium staff for making this successful and memorable for our students.

Next week we kick off November, the month of gratitude. I want to pause and express my deepest gratitude to everyone who makes our school community so special. To our students, thank you for bringing your curiosity, energetic spirit, and bright smiles through our doors each morning. To our wonderful staff, your endless dedication, patience, and passion for inspiring our young learners never cease to amaze me. And to our families, thank you for your steadfast partnership, trust, and support in everything we do. We are truly at our best when we work together, and I am immensely proud and grateful to serve alongside each and every one of you.

A few things:

• Light Farms Elementary is proud to celebrate our veteran family members. Thank you for your service, commitment, and sacrifice for the betterment of our country. Please fill out this form to submit photos for the Veteran's Day slideshow and/or RSVP for the breakfast event.
