From the Superintendent's Desk
Dear
Parents and Community:
As always it gives me great satisfaction to write to you
through the Leland School District newsletter. The newsletter is put
together approximately every month so that you may review the achievements of
our school and our students. Please take the time to read it, as it
outlines our wide-ranging activities and achievements
March decided to come in like a “lion” and go out like a “lion.” I
guess that coming in, April took its cue from March. Regardless, we hope
the “lamb” of April is with us now and brings us birds, bulbs, baseball and
softball…
The arrival of this newsletter will find us with less than 25 school days
in the school year! As difficult as that is to believe, the second
semester is not over. It can be difficult for children to concentrate on
schoolwork when the days grow longer and there are more temptations to be
outside. Please work with your children so they complete their homework
and assignments despite these distractions. If your son or daughter is a
12th grader please discuss with him or her the dangers of “senioritis.”
I am very pleased to remind all about our “Playground Brick Paver”
program. For the cost of $65.00 an individual, family, or group may
purchase a personalized brick that will be located by our playground that was
constructed and opened in 2005. Please consider having your own, special
brick placed among the others already in place. Information on how to
purchase one is located toward the end of the newsletter. Additionally,
there has been a scholarship established in the memory of retired Leland High
School teacher, coach, and athletic director Dick Inman whorecently passed away.
Contributions in his name may be sent to LHS.
Graduation for high school seniors and promotion for eighth grade students
is scheduled for Sunday, May 30 at 2:00 p.m. in the gym. I hope to see you
all then.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lane Abrell
