Get Geared Up for Spirit Week!

As per last Friday's school newsletter, the school has planned a series of spirit days next week. Wednesday March 23 is Lion Pride Day, and students are encouraged to wear Lilja gear, red/black/white colors, or come as a lion!

We still have plenty of spirit wear available in our online store, so get your orders in NOW to make sure you're ready for next Wednesday!

Free delivery can be made to a local Natick address.

ScrubaDub Fundraiser

Have you got your wash voucher(s) yet? Get your car sparkling clean and help the PTO at the same time! Did you know:

  • Vouchers are valid at ANY ScrubaDub location, from Natick to Warwick RI. Family & friends from Worcester to Woburn can participate, so make sure you send them our link.

  • You save $1 off every Express Wash.

  • You can easily upgrade your wash, e.g. add an undercarriage wash, when you're there.

  • Vouchers are valid for 6 months from time of purchase and there's no purchase limit, so if you buy at the end of April you have until the end of October to use them, go ahead and stock up.

  • The PTO gets FIVE DOLLARS for every wash sold - that's huge!

Click here to buy your wash today, and don't forget to share with your friends, family & neighbors: www.scrubadub.com/fr/campaign/liljaschoolpto2022

Staff Spotlight: Kristen McEnaney

What do you do at Lilja?
I am a multiage 1-2 teacher.

Can you tell us about your family?
I live with my husband, Mr. M. and two daughters, Anna and Hallie. Anna is a freshman at Mount Holyoke College and Hallie is a junior at Natick High School. Some kids might know Hallie because she works at ASAP on Mondays and Tuesdays. We have three pets at home - a dachshund dog named Cady, a black lab mix named Hansen, and a tabby cat named Natasha.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I like to spend time making quilts, reading, watercolor painting (Ms. Golestani teaches grown-up classes!), playing games and taking walks with our dogs.

You get one song to listen to for the rest of your life, what is it?
Wow, that's a tough choice! I would have to say anything by Lin Manuel Miranda!

Finish this sentence: I can't live without...
Audiobooks

What's a surprising fact about you?
I am a big Disney fan!

If you weren't at Lilja, what would you be doing?
I can't imagine NOT being at Lilja…unless I was a Broadway star. Then I'd spend my summers on stage. : )
