First Lucas newsletter of the year available

The first fall issue of The Robert Lucas Newsletter, produced by PTO member Emily Spellman, is now available online in PDF form and will be coming home in your children's folders in the next few days.

You might notice that the newsletter is a bit slimmer than in previous years. In fact, it's just one page, front and back. Though future issues may be a bit longer as we get deeper into the school year, this is part of  PTO's effort to cut down on the amount of paper we use -- and reduce the cost of printing hundreds of copies -- while still keeping Lucas families apprised of school news and events. But we're not cutting back on content. Though we'll include lots of short news items, many will link to the PTO blog, where you can read the full story. Either way, you'll be sure to be kept in the loop!

Speaking of the full story, look in this issue of the newsletter for profiles of seven new (and one returning) Lucas staff and teachers, information about how to order the new Lucas t-shirts, and other great information.
