Act Of Kindness:
Kindess is Magic- Fun Fair was a success and raised a lot of money for the Lyncourt PTO. LyncourtPTO22/23.
The Hall family (their daughter Azzy is fighting leukemia) will be presented with $752.40 with $500 donated by Jayden Laing.
Stephanie Vanhoover won the Xbox console and immediately presented it to Jayden for his generous donation.
You may be wondering how a 6th grader comes up with $500?
He wanted to donate $50 to the Hall Family and his mom posted on social media that she was proud of Jayden. Many friends asked if they could also chip in, and they let them know that donations were going to be accepted at the Fun Fair.
It was a heartwarming moment to witness! Thank you Jayden for your generosity and thoughtfulness.

American Rescue Plan:
Our school community is working hard to maintain some sense of normalcy and plan for next year. I am hopeful that in the fall we will be returning to a somewhat typical learning environment. As we make this transition, we will be faced with some significant challenges. Helping our students make sense of their experience during the pandemic will be one of our greatest challenges and top priorities.
In conjunction with the New York State Department of Education, we are requesting stakeholder feedback on how we can prepare for the next school year. I am hopeful that the plan we have in place will guide in the next school year and beyond. I ask that you please take a moment to review the American Rescue Plan and provide comments or questions in the survey below.
