Today was our first EAFK ceremony of the school year. We recognized students for the virtues of compassion and perseverance.
It was also the launch of a new initiative we started called EPIC Leaders. Each quarter, students are nominated by their teachers to be EPIC Leaders. An EPIC Leader is a student who not only embodies empathy, perseverance, integrity and curiosity at all times but pushes others to grow in those character traits. They are the highest of leaders at Lead. Once appointed an EPIC Leader, the student has a responsibility to continue to be a leader and ambassador for Lead Academy. EPIC Leaders receive the honor and respect but also a special reward trip and a bag of goodies. EPIC Leaders are a select group all should strive to join in the future! Congratulations EPIC Leaders!

Big shoutout to 9 of our students along with Ms. Sawyer for demonstrating language dives for a room full of educators at the EL Education National Conference in Atlanta today. They did awesome!
Parents, your child’s fundraiser order will be delivered to Lead Academy this Wednesday, October 16th and must be picked up between 2:00 - 6:00 PM. Students with orders of 10 items or less may pick up and take their orders with them. Orders of 10 items or more must be picked up by a parent or guardian. There are frozen products and we want to make sure they get all picked up since we do not have any refrigeration space available to store orders not picked up. You are welcome to send a neighbor, friend, older child or family members to come pick up your items if you are not able to make it. All they need is the student name and we’ll take care of the rest. Thank you so very much for your support! We had a wonderful fundraiser and could not have done it without you!

Check out this week's parent newsletter. We also fixed the date since it's definitely not 2029. Last week was a long week but not that long. :) . https://www.myleadacademy.com/article/141148?org=lead-academy
Two quick Wednesday reminders:
1. Please check your student's backpack daily for paperwork sent home from school that needs to be filled out. This will greatly help us to make sure all students have the required paperwork on file.
2. Whenever a student is absent or late, please use the "Absence Form" link in the new Lead app to submitted a parent excuse or send the doctor's note in to the front office. Using the form in the app sends the note directly to the front office and decreases the chances it is lost or ends up in the wrong place.
Have a great rest of the week!
