SCHOOL BOND CAMPAIGN GATHERING
Saturday, March 4, 9:30-11:00am, Lakeridge Junior High cafeteria
Parents, teachers, and neighbors are joining together to spread the word about the critical condition of our school buildings and provide information to the community about this year's bond proposal. Attend this gathering to learn more about the bond, what it will accomplish, and how you can help. Visit www.loschoolsfirst.com to learn more. Each school has a designated coordinator that parents can contact to learn more about ways they can get involved. At our school, the coordinators are Tamara DiVergilio and Robin Walsh.
ATTENTION PARENTS OF 8TH GRADERS
June 12, 4-8pm, 8th Grade Celebration at SuperPlay in Beaverton
This year’s LJHS 8th Grade party will be hosted on June 12, 2017 at SuperPlay in Beaverton from 4-8 pm. Students will board buses directly after school and will be dropped off at LJHS afterwards - please plan pick-up transportation accordingly. We are lucky to have the entire venue to ourselves where unlimited bowling, laser tag, and arcade games will be available. Pizza, green salad, fruit, dessert, and a variety of drinks will be served for dinner.
- Right now, the 8th Grade Celebration Committee is collecting pictures of each student to compile a slideshow which will be played on a loop during the off-site party. The slideshow is a special way to showcase each student's individuality as well as highlight the good times they've had together at LJHS. If you have not received an email asking for pictures, or would like more information about the 8th Grade Celebration, contact committee chair Amber Imes at imes.ambere@gmail.com.
CALLING ALL CROSSING GUARDS
M-F, 7:20-8:00 am -- NEED MORE GUARDS, ESP. MON, TUE, THUR & FRI!
We are now down from 3 guards to just 1! We desperately need volunteers to help children cross the intersection of Bryant and Jean roads. The visibility is extremely poor and this will help prevent any further accidents from happening.
- Can you help? Shifts are from 7:20-8:00am. Contact Kari Curry or Tamara DiVergilio to volunteer or with any questions.
