Lower School MR Campus Updates: 10.20.22
Dear Parents,
Hope you had a nice fall break! Here are a few reminders for the week:
Falcon Fund – Can you give a “High Five” to Ben Lippen by showing your support for the Falcon Fund? During the week of October 17-21, we are asking all Ben Lippen parents to give to the Falcon Fund during the Falcon Fund in Five giving drive! We need you to join us by participating at ANY level so that we can reach our goal of 100% participation. The Falcon Fund is the most important fund at our school because it bridges the gap between tuition and the true cost of a Ben Lippen education. These gifts allow us to support enhancements in technology, improve campus security, expand academic programs, and continue to grow our spiritual life, arts, and athletics programs. Your child benefits from the Falcon Fund, so please participate at whatever level you are able. Courtney Neil, Development Assistant

Lower School students may dress for the theme – PINK OUT! Your child is welcome to wear pinkto school on Friday. Check in at the PTF table near the concession stand to grab a trunk-or-treat bag!
