Semester Exam Schedule
From the Superintendent's Desk
Dear
Parents and Community:
It is difficult to believe
that as I write this column for the newsletter we have only 15 student
attendance days left in the 2011-12 school year.
One of the highlights of this
school year was the middle school class trip. Earlier
this month, I had the pleasure of accompanying a group of our 6th,
7th and 8th graders on their trip to Washington,
D.C. Leaving early the morning of Monday, April 16,
and returning late in the evening of April 18, we toured many sights of
the District of Columbia including: Mt. Vernon, The
Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial, the Holocaust Museum,
Arlington Cemetery, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, several of the war
memorials, and the Capitol. In addition to learning
about our nation’s rich history, I can assure you, we all got our daily
physical exercise as we walked 2-3 miles a day. I was
pleased with the manner in which our Leland students conducted
themselves in public and they represented Leland in a positive manner.
Kudos to the teacher chaperones Mr. Dingerson and
Ms. Smith for their organization and attention to detail regarding all
facets of the trip. Their efforts helped to make the
trip a safe, enjoyable, and educational venture.
May will see the following
events occur:
May 5th
- High School Prom
May 10th
- Grades 6-12 Awards Night.
May 14-17 - Senior Class trip to
Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.
May 17-18 – HS Final Exams
Finally, we look forward to
seeing you all at our 8th Grade Promotion and High School
Graduation ceremonies on Sunday, May 20th at 2:00 p.m. in the
High School Gym.
Sincerely,
Dr. Lane Abrell
Superintendent
