On Tuesday, our Kindergarten students had a special visit from Mrs. Leslie Cooper, Artistic Director of Ballet of York County! She shared what it takes to put together a ballet, demonstrated a few graceful moves, and even let some students try on a real ballerina’s tutu! 🩰
Then, on Wednesday, the excitement continued as our Kindergartners traveled to Winthrop University to watch the Ballet of York County perform The Nutcracker! What an amazing experience for our young learners! 💫

We are so proud of our 265 amazing LES students who completed their November Math and Reading Challenges! Each month, more students join the group!! Whoohoo!🎊
To celebrate their hard work and dedication, each participating student enjoyed a "trip" to the Lewisville Elementary Theater and watched a holiday movie with actual movie theater popcorn. Their enthusiasm for learning is truly inspiring!
We’re excited to see even more students join the fun in December—let’s keep the momentum going! 💪
Thank you to our teachers, staff, and families for encouraging a love of learning every day. 💙

Our amazing 3rd graders have been busy with a STEM activity inspired by the story The Carpenter’s Gift! 📚✨
First, students built a tree to represent the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree 🎄. Then, using those same blocks, they transformed their creations into a house—just like Habitat for Humanity does—spreading the message of giving and community! 🏠
