Please Save the Date! The Louise Archer Elementary STEAM Extravaganza will be held on Thursday March 14th at 6-8pm.

The STEAM Extravaganza is a PTA sponsored extracurricular voluntary activity open to all Louise Archer Elementary students. The STEAM Extravaganza is replacing the Science Fair with a more open format for an opportunity for the students to learn about any science-related subject and present what they learned rather than to only conduct science experiments. During the Science Extravaganza students will have the opportunity to present anything they have created or investigated that is related to science and technology. Some examples include science fair projects, Lego robotics, and computer programs. Students will be asked to present and display their projects (i.e. on a tri-fold board or similar display) and to be prepared for a brief oral presentation during the event.

Please join us for Pizza Bingo on Friday, April 19th 5:30-7pm. Pizza will be available for sale (cash or credit card) starting at 5:30pm in the cafeteria. We will also be offering pre-sale pizza – order ahead to skip the line! Details to come. Bingo will be in the gym from 6-7pm. There will be a ton of prizes! 

The Louise Archer 5K & Sun Run will take place on Sunday, April 28th.

Registration is open. Early Bird pricing is available until the end of February, so register now to save.

T-Shirt Contest: Do you have a budding artist in your home who loves LAES? All LAES students are invited to submit a design for the front of the race t-shirt, which will be worn around town by hundreds of people. The design should be drawn on plain, white paper in black ink with the child’s name and grade on the back. Take a picture, or scan, your design and send it to us by NOON on Friday, March 15th.

Commemorative Race Shirts will be available to everyone for pick up before the race when registered by the end of the day, April 8th. For registrations completed after April 8th shirts will not be guaranteed. Be sure to register early.

If you have the desire and the means, please consider becoming a LAES Family Cheerleader which is $300 and includes your family’s name on the Commemorative Race Shirt and a Family PTA membership.
