INFORMATION TO KNOW:

Side by Side Raffle - The LCA Board is conducting a fundraising effort to enclose the front walkway between our two buildings, but we need your help to make this a reality.  Attached is the flier for the Side by Side Raffle.  Please share that with as many others as you can; additionally, students will be coming home with cards to hand out to family, friends, and neighbors.  Together, let’s make this fundraiser a powerful success!

Noon Dismissal - Wednesday, Nov. 6th is a noon dismissal for all students.  There will be no hot lunch that day.  Please call the office to let us know if your child will be in after care.  

Canned Food Drive - On Mon Nov. 4, we will kick off the LCA annual canned food drive.  Members of the Wright City Fire Department will be onsite to help ramp up excitement and to deliver barrels for classrooms.  The canned food drive will benefit the local Wright City Food Pantry and will go from Nov. 4th - 19th.  The winning team/classroom will both get a pizza party and will play members of the Fire Department in a game of dodgeball.  Please be prepared to go through your cabinets or head to the store to find canned foods (not expired) that will benefit others. 

Christian Ventriloquist & Musician - On Mon & Tues Nov. 4th & 5th, from 8:15 -9:00 am, Doug Mickan, a Christian ventriloquist and musician will be visiting our 3rd - 6th grade students in the gym.  He will visit with PK - 2nd grade in their classrooms. 

Election Day - Tues. Nov 5th is election day.  The Wright City Immanuel Church of Christ will be a polling place during Tuesday’s election.  Drop off will proceed as normal, but it may be a little crowded getting in and out may be a challenge.  

In order to improve traffic flow and ease congestion during pickup, please do not turn left into the parking lot.  We are asking that you circle through the cemetery and then enter the parking lot using a right turn.  Student drivers will not be able to park in the church parking lot that day.  We request that all students park in the back lot nearest the playground.  We will modify recess for our students that day.  A map with a diagram is attached for your reference.

PTO Pizza – See separate email to order. LCA Hot Lunch will not be served on PTO Pizza day.

Veterans Day - Grades 3 - 12 will be writing essays for For Veterans Day.  One winning essay will be selected from each group: 3rd-6th, 7th -8th, and 9th-12th.  Students in Grades 3-12 will be parading to Diekroeger Brothers Park in Wright City on Monday, November 11th. All branches of the military will be honored.  Dr. Kerr is handling the details and has sent home information.  If you have additional questions, please email Dr. Kerr at jkerr@lcaeagles.com.

Spirit Wear – Spirit Wear orders will be delivered mid-November.  We have also been blessed with a number of used items.  We have some t-shirts, long sleeve T-s, hoodies, zip-up sweatshirts, and even a few pairs of pants/skirts.  Most are size S or M.  Please feel free to stop by the athletic office and see what we have.

Fundraiser – We would like to bless our new LCA kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Anna Wilcoxson and her family.  The Wilcoxson family has been faced with some overwhelming medical needs for their daughter, Ginger.  Because of your generosity we are over halfway to our goal of $5,500 for a life-changing treatment.  Please click here if you are able to help.  Wilcoxson Family Fundraiser
