The January student council rocked the announcements today. They encouraged everyone to speak positively to themselves and a classmate, reminded them about Martin Luther King Jr.’s message of equality, celebrated birthdays, and ended with the Pledge of Allegiance. Rockstar public speakers at LaPerche!
LaPerche students love to read!! Kindergarten students spread out on the rug and read books of their choice. Choosing your own book increases interest, engagement, and enthusiasm! Look at that focus!
The Cafeteria Rangers were hard at work in the cafeteria at LaPerche today. The Rangers help students sort their lunch waste into recycling, composting, landfill, and the share cart. Do you compost at home? If not reach out to our partner, Bootstrap compost, to start composting at home! LaPerche students are ready to lead composting in their own homes!!
First graders at LaPerche read The Winners’ Choice today. They determined the main events of the story focused on the beginning, middle and end. The students knew it was important to look back in the story to confirm their thinking with the events that took place. Ask your first grader about the lesson they learned in this excellent story!

LaPerche Elementary has a warrior in our school!! Our first grade student, Lorenzo, was recently diagnosed with Leukemia and he in at Hasbro battling strong! On Friday, December 9, a group of LaPerche families joined Lorenzo's teacher, Mrs. Martel, and Smithfield Police and Fire to visit Hasbro and wave hello to Lorenzo! They brought signs, lights , smiles and cheers and did all they could to brighten Lorenzo's night.
Lorenzo's parents are so amazing in the way they are supporting their son. Lorenzo will win this battle and be back at LaPerche!!!
On Friday, dad joined the group outside Hasbro and passed out candy canes and glow sticks from Lorenzo! What a generous family. We love you, Lorenzo, and can't wait for you to return!
