Let's focus on our goals, keeping academics and attendance in mind as we push towards the winter break. Your dedication is the key to our collective success, and we're excited to see the incredible achievements ahead. Together, let's make every moment count on the path to excellence.

Final Forms Weekly Update 

Great news! We're thrilled to share that we've reached a fantastic 92% completion on our Final Forms submissions.

While we're well on our way, there's still a tiny portion left to complete – just 8% or 39 forms. If you haven't had the chance to submit your Final Forms yet, we kindly ask for your assistance in reaching our goal, or if you know someone who hasn't yet, let them know we are here to help. 

In the spirit of continuous achievement, let's unite as a community to complete the remaining forms and make this a season of unity and accomplishment. Your contributions bring us closer to our target, and we celebrate each step forward in increasing our completion percentage.

If you need assistance or have any questions, Mrs. Dingledine is here to help. You can reach her at tammie.dingledine@london.k12.oh.us.

Lost and Found

In the spirit of community support, we wanted to bring your attention to various "lost and found" treasures gathered over the past few weeks. Your assistance in returning these items to their rightful owners is greatly appreciated.

Among the treasures in our lost and found collection, you'll find lunch boxes brimming with memories, pencil pouches filled with the bounty of new supplies, cozy jackets, and warm hoodies. This assortment is as diverse as the items on a communal table, and many of these belongings may hold a special place in the hearts of your students.

Before the hustle and bustle of school days take over, please take a moment to check with your students and see if any of these items are missing from their lives.

If your child happens to spot any of their belongings in our treasure trove, please encourage them to retrieve them from the designated area. Our heartfelt goal is to reunite each item with its owner.

However, in the spirit of giving, any unclaimed items by the end of the winter break will be lovingly donated to the Help House, a local charitable organization. This way, we can extend a helping hand to those in need, fostering a spirit of generosity and community support during this festive season.
