During the month of February, Lancaster School is hosting the Kids Heart Challenge.
LES students in grades 1-5th will be participating in this fundraiser, formerly called Jump Rope
for Heart during their Physical Education class. The Kids Heart Challenge is a community
service learning program of the American Heart Association. Students will learn the importance
of developing heart healthy habits, understanding that being physically active can be fun as we
spend time jumping rope and developing new rope skills during P.E. As well as raising money to
support research and education. Students will help save lives across the country and in our own
community.
This will be the 8th year Lancaster has hosted the Kids Heart Challenge. Our previous
record LES raised a total of $9,619.00. This year we're hoping to reach a new goal of
$10,000.00! Everyone has the opportunity to participate in fundraising for the Kids Heart
Challenge along with the LES students. Go to www.heart.org/kidsheartchallenge and search for
our school name and join us in supporting the American Heart Association and our school! Our
fundraiser ends on Wednesday, February 22th.
Thank you for your support and helping us be heart heroes!

Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to inform you that Lancaster Elementary School recently completed testing for lead in drinking water. This is part of an ongoing effort related to New Hampshire’s House Bill 1421, which requires school and childcare facilities to test for lead in drinking water and to act when lead is found at levels at or above 5 parts per billion (ppb).
Lead is a toxic heavy metal with various adverse health effects if inhaled or swallowed. Lead rarely occurs naturally in New Hampshire’s drinking water sources (groundwater or surface water) and typically enters drinking water due to the wearing away of piping, faucets, fixtures and other plumbing materials.
Because lead is tasteless, odorless, and colorless in drinking water, testing is the only way to learn whether lead is present. It is important to sample each faucet or water fountain used for drinking or food prep because test results can vary between locations.
During recent testing, we collected samples from 8 drinking water outlets (e.g., drinking fountains, classroom faucets, kitchen sinks), with 2 samples testing at or above 5 ppb; action must be taken.
We have removed access to these outlets until the problem can be corrected. The table below shows a list of the tested outlets that presented elevated levels of lead, their locations, sample results, and our planned remediation.
1.
Outlet Number: 21475-1
Location: Kitchen
Sample Result: 12.4 (ppb)
Planned Remediation: Faucet Replacement
2.
Outlet Number: 21475-3
Location: Kitchen
Sample Result: 7.51
Planned Remediation: Faucet Replacement
All sample results and additional resources from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES) can be viewed at gettheleadoutnh.org.
Sincerely,
Robert Scott, Director of Facilities
