Welcome
Next week is Fall Break (Nov. 24 - 28) - hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
A huge thank you to our school staff for all of the work that went into both the Thanksgiving Lunch and Turkey Trot this week. If you have any photos that would make a great addition to our yearbook from these events - please send them to historian@russellleepta.org.
We have some fun events coming up in December - including our first ever Multicultural Potluck on Dec. 11. You can the December calendar below or check them out on the Konstella calendar.
When we get back from break we'll be sharing details on our holiday Giftcrowd - an optional group gifting platform that is a great way to send a thank you to our staff for all of their hard work.
And finally, a reminder that all library books are due the week we return to school from fall break - and need to be turned in no later than Dec. 5. AISD is updating systems and Ms. Day needs all books returned by this date to ensure a smooth migration.

We can’t wait to gather, share, and celebrate together on December 11th!!
