Early Release (@2:15)
Students will visit the Book Fair again starting the
week of Feb. 8th to make their purchases. In addition to the scheduled class visits, the fair will
also be open before school that week and during
Curriculum Night, which is the evening of the
9th. There will also be opportunities at the fair to
make contributions to individual teachers for purchases for their classrooms if you wish to do
so. In order to make the Book Fair a success, we
are in need of volunteers. Please consider signing up to help the children
make their selections and purchases. Use the following link (http://
www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0944a5a72aa75-book) to volunteer or contact
Elizabeth Purdie ([email protected]) with any questions. More information will be sent home in the near future with your child.

Dear Parents,
Thank you for your continued support of the programs, staff, and students at Lansdowne IB World Elementary School. We are always so appreciative of our parents and our PTO for all that they do for our students
and school.
On Tuesday, February 9th, at 6:00 PM, we will have Curriculum and Book Fair Night. Families will have an opportunity to attend a session with their child’s teacher to learn about curriculum, events, and expectations for second semester. Two sessions will be held with the information being repeated. The first session will run from 6:00-6:30
PM. The second session will run from 6:35-7:05 PM. Parents only need to attend one session. The Book Fair will be
open until 8:00 PM. We hope to see many Lansdowne families for this event.
Mrs. Guice, our school counselor, has planned a Parenting Education Series through the months of February and
March. The workshops will held on Tuesday nights at 6:00 PM. Please note the following dates for the workshops: February 2nd, February 16th, February 23rd, March 8th, and March 15th. Topics will be shared on ConnectEd messages
