Lowes Island Elementary PTO

Congratulations to two LCPS alumni heading to Paris for the 2024 Olympics! Weini Kelati, a Heritage High School graduate, qualified by winning the 10,000 meters in the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials. Emily Fox, a Stone Bridge High School graduate, is one of the players named to the U.S. Women's Olympic Soccer Team. We are so proud of Weini and Emily and can't wait to cheer them on during the games.

Cluster Event Alert!
Before the 2024-2025 school year begins, we would like to connect with as many of you as possible. On Friday, July 26, 2024, we will embark on a 22-mile bicycle ride throughout the community, starting at Seneca Ridge Middle School at 8:30 am and ending at Rai's Pizza at 21430 Cedar Dr. around 4 pm. We'll make several stops along the way, as shown on this schedule. During the bike tour, the generous donor, Bruster's Ice Cream, will provide delicious ice cream at a discounted price: $5 per scoop. We invite you to meet us at one of these stops to say hello, indulge in some ice cream, join us for pizza or a sandwich at Rai's, or ride along with us for part of the journey.

Please use this form to let us know that your child and/or you will be joining us. A permission form is included in the registration form as well. We look forward to meeting you and enjoying an adventurous bike tour journey in July! See you there!https://ow.ly/8Rp750SqhUf
