LCE is proud of Ms. Lavire, Mrs. Canevari, & Dr. Fuschetti for being awarded a grant from the Farm Bureau. All three grants will provide various gardens around campus over the next few months! Mrs. Daum, from the Women's Leadership Committee, came to LCE to distribute checks and surprise these incredible teachers.

LCE Veteran's Day program is tomorrow at 8:30. Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue. Our program is outside and will last under an hour.

The Florida Department of Education has officially designated November 3-7, 2025, as Gifted Education Week in Florida! This is a fantastic time to recognize Florida's commitment to providing rigorous educational experiences and tailored support for our advanced learners.

Here in Highlands County, we are celebrating the incredible achievements and innovative spirit of our students. Our elementary gifted students have been exploring this year's hands-on curriculum "The Carnival of Creativity."

Building Skills for the Future
Our students are engaging in hands-on, collaborative projects that focus on their intellectual growth and the development of critical academic skills:

STEAM & Design Challenges: Students are tackling real-world, carnival-themed STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics) challenges. They are applying the engineering design process and using math and science concepts to create a variety of products.

Building Resilience: A key focus is on developing perseverance and a growth mindset. These challenges are intentionally complex, giving students a safe space to practice problem-solving, learn from setbacks, and build grit.

Innovation and Leadership: Through teamwork, students are honing their critical and creative thinking abilities, practicing leadership skills, and developing real-world problem-solving strategies.

LCE's Annual Veterans Day program is quickly approaching! Be sure to register your Veteran to be recognized if they are planning to be in attendance.

LCE Operation "Treats for Troops!" As you sort your trick or treat goodies, we invite the community to partner with our LCE Leadership team to collect individually wrapped, non chocolate candy to share with our troops! We will have collection boxes at our upcoming Veteran's Day program! We hope everyone has a safe and fun filled weekend!

Attendance matters! Help us start the new nine weeks strong with students on time and present for school! Reminder that the morning bell rings at 7:25. There are few to no cars in the drop off line from 7:05-7:15! We have had lots of tardies, and tardies add up to absences! Attendance matters. Every student. Every day!

Reminder!
LCE will be having a SAC/PTO meeting at 2:25pm tomorrow in the music room. Hope to see you there!

Red Ribbon Week starts tomorrow! Don't forget our dress up days:
