Christmas Break: Please note that the student return date from Christmas break is Wednesday, January 4. The Ben Lippen online calendar reflects the correct date of January 4 but the printable version that you may have from the beginning of the year does not reflect this date change.
- Tuesday, January 3, is when faculty/staff return.
- Wednesday, January 4, is when all students return – full day of school.
Message from our Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF): As the Christmas season approaches, similar to years past, the Parent Teacher Fellowship will be giving all Ben Lippen teachers, administration and staff a monetary Christmas gift. This is a wonderful and meaningful way to honor and love our teachers and staff. By pooling our resources together, we can give a significant gift to those who spend the most time with our children. A flyer was sent home last week in your child’s folder with more information. We are hopeful that this also helps you by shortening your Christmas gift list. You can contribute via Venmo, check or cash and the deadline to participate is Friday, December 9.
- Venmo – @BLS-PTF (last 4 digits of phone number are 1390). Be sure to include your first and last name in the description so your name can be included on the card.
- Checks (made out to Kathryn Burkhalter) or Cash – send in to the school office in an envelope labeled “Teacher Appreciation Christmas Gift – Your First and Last Name”.
Lost and Found: Due to the continued changing weather, we have collected quite a few jackets and sweatshirts. The lost and found items will be located on a table in the hallway in front of the school office. Any items not picked up by December 16 will be donated to the clothes closet. Just a friendly reminder to label your child’s clothing. If there is a name in their jacket, we do our best to get it back to the student when found. Thank you!
Coffee with the Headmaster (NE Campus): Enjoy coffee and conversation with our headmaster, Dr. Tony Fajardo, and fellow Ben Lippen parents. It will be held on Thursday, December 8, at the Northeast campus from 8:30-9:30 am.
