From Principal
Lynn Main
 What a summer we have had at Lafayette Elementary School. Thousands, and we mean thousands of new books to unpack and distribute, extensive professional development for teachers on the Common Core State Standards, hundreds of registrations to process, all those children to place in new classes. Teachers started arriving back the week of August 12th to set up their classrooms and make sure everything was ready for opening day. |

Shop at Politics & Prose, Eat at Terasol and Comet Pizza to Support Wilson High School!
Plan to shop and eat March 3 & 4
Come shop at Politics & Prose, 5015 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Saturday and Sunday, March 3 & 4 to help raise important funds for the Wilson PTSA. Politics & Prose will donate 20 percent of all book sales to the PTSA if you tell the cashier that you're a Wilson supporter. In addition, teacher and library "wish lists" will be available at the Wilson table, across from the children's section.
Afterward, dine at nearby Comet Pizza or Terasol Restaurant, identify yourself as a Wilson supporter, and the restaurant will donate a portion of your tab to the school. Please urge your friends and neighbors to shop and eat in support of Wilson! |

Letter from the Editor
For those of you new to Lafayette, the Tuesday Bulletin is the communications arm of the Lafayette Home and School Association. It's where you will find important information from HSA officers and teachers and staff on news, events, and fundraisers at Lafayette. It's also where to turn for information on after-school curricular activities and volunteer opportunities at the school and within the community.
The "Community Notices" section of each bulletin, akin to a classified-ad section, is where families can submit up to two ads per semester. The ads must have a clear Lafayette connection. We do not accept ads for most commercial businesses or real estate. For the convenience of families, we do post ads for camps, classes and after-school activities that take place at Lafayette and within the community. Please note that these programs are not run by Lafayette or the HSA.
To meet our deadlines, editors need all submissions e-mailed to [email protected] by the previous Friday. Notices should include your name, phone number, e-mail address, as well as connection to Lafayette.
Thank you to parent editors Miriam Van Dyck, Suzanne Stokes Vieth, and Sheryl-Ann Gayle for joining me in producing the bulletin again this year.
Editor Wanted!
The Tuesday Bulletin is looking for another editor. If you think you might be interested, please email me.
- Teresa G. Gionis, Tuesday Bulletin editor
