PTO NEWS
SPARTA PARENT'S NIGHT OUT!!
PARENTS…are you ready for a night out? Fliers went home
this week for the upcoming Parent's Night Out at SPARTA.
Bring your Lantern Road student to SPARTA on Friday,
March 27th! Students will participate in our turf sports with
instruction in soccer, football, and lacrosse.
In addition, kids will participate in miscellaneous games and
activities such as kickball and obstacle courses. SPARTA’S
coaches always promote anti-bullying as the kids build selfconfidence and learn discipline while engaging in a variety of
sports. The cost will be $10 per child and siblings older than
Kindergarten are welcome too (LRE PTO will receive 20%
back). Please return the completed flier (included signed waiver
on back of flier) by March 13.
MARKET DAY NEWS
It's market day bonus time. Order select desserts this month
and earn more money for Lantern Road Elementary. Orders are

Starting at the March sale, we can only accept checks and exact
cash for your Market Day order. You may still prepay online

BROOKSIDE NEEDS APRONS
Our friends over at Brookside (IPS #54) have a new Cooking
Club that meets after school and they are in need of aprons for
their budding elementary school chefs. Any new or used apron
that could fit a child of that age would be appreciated. There
are 20 children in the club, so anything that you could contribute would be very gratefully accepted. Please put any items for
Brookside in the bin in the entrance way at LRES and we'll
make sure it gets where it needs to.
Thank you!

HELP MAKE OUR 20TH ANNIVERSARY
SPRING CONCERT SPECIAL!!
On March 31, the Lantern Road Choirs will be presenting
their 20th Spring Concert. To help commemorate this musical milestone, we are inviting past Lantern Road music students to join us and sing along on 3 numbers. If you have a
student or a neighbor who sang in one of Lantern Road’s
choir, please have them contact Connie LaRocco at [email protected] ASAP if they want to sing along. Age
doesn’t matter….5th grade, 6th grade, high school, college,
adult… any past choir members can sing with us if they can
attend one rehearsal on March 30 from 8AM – 9AM. The
concert will be presented on March 31 at 7PM.
I am also looking for pictures from past choir concerts; especially ones from the early years and of the operetta. If you
have a favorite picture of your student in one of Lantern
Road’s past musical productions, please email me a copy of it.
Songs and pictures from the past coupled with some returning
musicians make for a fun evening of music.
