A huge thank you to all of our families and community partnership with Nature’s Daughter who took time to come to Lothian Elementary this weekend for the community planting session. As well as for coming back today and teaching our students about being a green guardian & watershed steward.
Our students, families and community members learned about different plants that contribute to our local ecosystem, parts of plants, and what makes a healthy happy garden for plants and animals.
We cannot wait to watch as our hard work and efforts grow into an amazing garden for years and generations to come!

🌟 Presenting Our Students of the Month for September🌟
This month, we’re shining a spotlight on our amazing elementary students who have shown what it means to be a leader!
Leadership isn’t always about being in charge—it’s about being a positive role model, helping others, making responsible choices, showing kindness, and having the courage to do the right thing. 👏
Congratulations to our Students of the Month for leading by example and making our school community a better place! We are so proud of the way you step up, support your classmates, and inspire those around you. 🌟
🦁 Keep leading, keep growing, and keep making a difference! We’re proud of you! 🦁

Our community planting day is today!! 🌾🌻
Rain or shine we can’t wait to help GROW our Lothian landscape and gardens with you!
Come when you can, stay as long as you’d like. 🦁🦁

Happy Custodial Appreciation Day!!!
We can’t say thank you enough for the work, the time, the smiling, welcoming and friendly faces🤩
