The Mendoza Message
for
January 17, 2025
We had another busy week at school. Your children worked really hard on the NWEA. Lawton Play Day on Thursday was a great day for your child to enjoy the day with all the hard work they did.
If you forgot, your child’s AADL library book was due yesterday. Please return the book to any AADL branch.
Remember, there is NO SCHOOL TOMORROW in observance of MLK Day.
Again, this has been a chilly week. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. It looks like it will still be very cold at the beginning of next week too.
The 2nd Graders will be singing at the MLK Assembly on Thursday, January 23rd at 10:00 am. Parents are welcome to come and watch.
Remember to look at the Lawton Lost and Found regularly especially now that Winter is here.
If you would like to help out at Lawton during school hours (lunch helper, chaperoning field trips, etc.), you will need to fill out a form. Here is the link. If you want to volunteer at Lawton. I would encourage you to do it as soon as you can. It can take some time before you are cleared. Also, once you are cleared, it is good for the entire 2023-2024 school year.
Finally, please remember to return their AADL book at any of the AADLs. Your child’s AADL book is due on Thursday, January 16, 2025.
Remember to look at the Lawton Lost and Found regularly, especially now.
If you would like to volunteer in the building during school hours you will need to complete this background check: Complete Volunteer Background Check 24-25
Completing the background check allows you to be with children during the school day, class parties, and to chaperone field trips. If you think you might be helping out at any time during the year, please fill it out now. Don’t want to wait until the last minute.
Again, here is the QR Code to the Amazon “Wish List”, since I have added some items.
Remember, please charge the laptop to 100%, so it is ready for use in the classroom for Monday.

Information from Lawton:
TRAILS LESSON 10
This coming week, our school will focus on practicing relaxation techniques to help manage the uncomfortable feelings that come with stress. Stress is the feeling you experience when you're worried, uneasy, or dealing with a lot of big events in your life. These worries can affect not only your mind but also your body, making you feel tense or uncomfortable. The good news is that relaxation skills can be helpful not just when we're stressed, but also as part of our daily routines to keep us feeling calm and balanced.
