As the "fog" settles on our Fog & Fortune gala, just a quick reminder that while the Silent Auction closed last Friday, our Count-Me-In (CMI) parties will remain live for a few more weeks.

If you’re new to Lafayette, CMIs are really cool and fun for our kids. They are fixed-price parties hosted by our amazing teachers and families - you just buy a "ticket" to join the fun!

There are still some incredible spots open, including:

Taylor Swift bracelet making
Dance party
Minecraft movie
Soccer workshop with second graders 
Popsicle party hosted by the Kindergarten teachers 
Loom bracelet making

Thank you!

p.s. Did you partake of the photobooth at this year's Gala?? Photos are available here: GALLERY

As we start planning for next year's after school enrichment classes, we would love your feedback on you and your child's experiences with these programs.

If your child has participated in after school enrichment classes this past semester, please fill out this survey by April 1st to share your feedback.  You must fill out one survey for EACH class your child took. So if your child took 2 classes, that would mean two separate surveys. At the top of the survey there is a place for you to indicate which class your response is for.

Your feedback is communicated to our providers so they can make improvements where necessary. It also really helps us in making decisions which programs we bring back next year.

Thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey!

Is your child interested in acting? Or do they want to go ride their bike around GG Park? We have new sessions starting for two of our after school enrichment programs----Wheel Kids and Drama! Check out the classes and sign up on Homeroom.com

If you need financial assistance, please reach out to the After School Enrichment Coordinator, Kristen Coleman, at kjkrieger@gmail.com 

📌 The PTA is looking for parents to volunteer at drop off to help remind families to fill out the climate and culture surveys this coming week. If you can help, please respond to this email!!
