The Yearbook Committee welcomes any “Winter Concert & Spirit Week Photos” this coming week. Please upload photos by Sunday, December 17.
For all those budding artists out there, this is the final call for yearbook covers. Don’t miss out this opportunity to have your artwork featured in this year’s yearbook. The cover theme for this year is Whatever Good Things We Build End Up Building Us – You Matter!
Original hardcopy & digital artwork covers are to be turned into the Front Office by end of day Friday, December 8th.

Our food drive continues for another week to provide food for families over winter break. There are bins in the foyer (Door 10) where Kiss & Ride students enter and exit. If you are able to assist us, please send your student in with the donations at arrival time. If you are unable to do that, you may drop them off in the main office.
Thank you in advance!

You’ve heard about #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday, but what about #Giving Tuesday?
In this season of gratitude and giving, you can be the change for our nation’s children. You empower every child’s future and invest in our student’s well-being across the country when you make a gift this Giving Tuesday, Nov. 28. PTA is #HerefortheKids, and we know you are too. Please visit PTA.org/Give or, for a direct donation, LouiseArcherPTA.org to join/donate.
Take advantage of your employee match program this year and every year. Don’t leave money on the table when it comes to supporting our students.
Also, don’t forget to ask if they allow employees to volunteer their time with local charities. Some companies offer paid time off to staff when they volunteer with an organization in their community.
