Winter Assembly Part 3
Winter Assembly Part 2
Our 2023 Winter Assembly was amazing thanks to some hardworking staff members, but most importantly our talented students. Excuse us while we flood your timeline with the images. Part 1
Double your pleasure, double your fun...today was Twin Day and we had so many twins and multiples floating around the building. Tomorrow is Ugly Sweater Day. Buy one, make one or pull out that one someone gave you that is buried deep in your closet, you know the one. Let's make our last day great!!
Today was so relaxing because everyone was in their comfy PJs. All we need now is to be tucked in and read a bedtime story. Tomorrow you'll have to do a double take because it's Twin Day. Pick a friend or 2 and dress alike.
There was a flood of red, green & white today as we kicked off our spirit week for this final week of school in December 2023. Don't forget that tomorrow is Pajama Day. Show us your favorite character or festive PJs.
If you have the time, join us for our 2023 Winter Assembly on Wednesday at 8:30am. Come watch your scholars shine!!
Our Winter Spirit Week begins on Monday. Let's have some fun for our last week before Winter Break begins on Friday, 12/22

Meet The Staff Monday
Name: Tareonna Cooper
Title: Kindergarten Teacher
Years in the Educational Industry: 2
Why do you do it?: I can remember in my 3rd grade class, I told Mr. Best I wanted to be a teacher. Not just any teacher, a KINDERGARTEN teacher. I chose kindergarten because no day is the same!! I never knew 5 year-olds had so much personality and I love it. You don’t know what to expect with them. My littles keep me on my feet which I love because I’m ready for anything. This age group is my favorite because they are beyond sweet. I love their messes, the good morning hugs, the random drawings of me, and the daily tears. Just being their first teacher outside of mom/dad is rewarding to me. No one forgets their Kindergarten teacher 🩷
At CICS Lloyd Bond, during the month of October, "on Wednesdays we wear pink " to support Breast Cancer Awareness month.
