Your PTA at Work!  

Lunch was catered on Friday, 2/5 for our teachers in celebration of the LHE Virtual Auction! 
 
CN Catering was orginally booked to cater our in-person LHE Auction.  Because we switched to Virtual, we decided to pay-it-forward and feed our staff making this a win-win situation for both LHE and the catering company.  Check out CN Catering at www.CNcatering.com.

To date, our 65th Anniversary Campaign has raised $3750 in donations!!  Thank you to all who have donated thus far!   Last month we were able to install the large shade structure and six picnic tables on the intermediate playground.  In the past two years we have completed two Wildcat Walkways providing our students, staff and community a safe walking trail around our campus.  
 
In celebration of our 65th Year Anniversary we are asking for parents, grandparents, businesses and community members to consider making a $65 donation (or any monetary amount) to the LHE PTA. With these donations, the PTA will be able to provide more improvements on our LHE Campus.

 Welcome, Mr. Bell!

 

Hi, LHE community! My name is Mark Bell, and I am so excited to be a part of the LHE team! I grew up in McKinney and attended college at TCU, but I have lived and worked in Louisiana for the last 9 years. I taught second and third grades and was an elementary school master teacher.  For 

the last two years, I was the assistant principal of a middle school.

My fiancée and I got engaged in December and decided that this summer was a good time to move closer to family (She will be teaching 6th grade ELA at Richardson Terrace.).

I am super excited to be back in Texas, back working in an elementary school, and to be at LHE! I have heard great things about the staff, students, and community.

I look forward to meeting and working with each of you!

 

Mr. Bell
