Message from Mrs. Castillo

Last Day of School Staff Photo

As we reflect on another memorable school year and enjoy the start of summer, we want to thank you for your support, partnership, and engagement throughout the year. Working together, we helped our lions thrive, and it has been wonderful to see their growth both academically and socially. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished and the positive contributions they have made to our school community.  Our success would not be possible without the support of our families. Thank you for your partnership, encouragement, and commitment throughout the year - your involvement has made a meaningful difference. Together, we have created a school environment where children learn, grow, and thrive.

The last week of school was packed with our 6th Grade Promotion Ceremony, class parties, K - 4 celebration assemblies, and a final wave of our buses on Wednesday.  

Beginning on Thursday, June 25th, the front office hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. or by appointment.  Call ahead if you need to stop by before or after daily office hours.  Read below to keep up with activities this summer!  See you soon ~ Mrs. Castillo

LRES Eco Defense Squad Celebrations

Eco Defense Squad Earns Green Flag

Congratulations to the Lemon Road ES Eco Defense Squad! The 4th - 6th graders worked hard to lead our environmental efforts this year, and we have earned a Green Flag from EcoSchoolsUS, the equivalent of an environmental gold award. Additionally, ten members of the squad contributed towards our new Eco Code, something that shows our LRES efforts and commitment to supporting our environment. Great work, everyone. Keep it green and see you next year!

Keep Learning This Summer

LRES Summer Activity Board

In addition to the resources below, Lemon Road shares a Summer Activity Board we hope all lions will complete and return!  Access a digital copy here, check your child's Wednesday folder for a printed copy, or come to one of our summer events and pick up another printed copy!  Lions that return completed (or partially completed) boards are invited to a celebration when school is back in session.  

FCPS Summer Learning Resources: 

FCPS’ Summer Resource Guide has activities and tips on a variety of subjects and interests, from camps and activities to health and safety resources. 

The FCPS Summer Learning webpage offers ideas and strategies for families to keep students curious until August. Summer is the perfect time to help your student explore new interests, reinforce concepts, and stay engaged!

Both websites will be updated throughout the summer, so check back!
