November is Native American Heritage Month in the United States, which is a celebration of traditions, languages, and stories of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and affiliated Island communities to ensure their rich histories and contributions continue to thrive with each passing generation.

As good neighbors, we can make a significant difference by being mindful, offering alternatives, and most importantly, communicating with members of our communities. Here are some things to think about as you prepare for tonight's festivities:

Leopards are Building Greatness!

The Lafayette Move-A-Thon is coming up on November 3rd! Our students look forward to actively participating and raising funds for our amazing school!

Look for some fun and informative handouts coming home with your students in early October as we kick-off fundraising efforts!

We have worked out discounted tickets with the Kraken on December 29th! Slightly different from other teams, nothing will be coming back to the PTA and while we will all be close, we won’t be in the exact same area, but this is a great opportunity to see them play at a more affordable price!

Please note that there are price tiers – the less expensive tickets do have obscured views of the jumbotrons – but clear views of the ice (see their 3D ticket view map on link). Tickets will be available until Dec 22nd or when sold out!
