Archers in Action: News & Events ~ September 16, 2026

Founders Classical Academy of Leander came together last week for a special 9/11 Remembrance “Patriot’s Day” Assembly to remember, reflect, and honor the lives impacted by September 11, 2001.

 

Our students, staff, families, and community members gathered around the flagpole for a meaningful ceremony that recognized the courage, sacrifice, and service of first responders and local heroes.

 

Having these heroes among us made the morning especially meaningful for our students. It was an opportunity to learn from those who serve our communities, express our gratitude, and reflect on the importance of courage, service, and community.

 

We are incredibly grateful to the first responders and local heroes who joined us and to all who dedicate themselves to protecting and serving others. Their presence reminded our students that the spirit of service continues in our own community every day.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped make that morning a meaningful time of remembrance and reflection.

Reminders:

➹September: Kindergarten Stocks the Lounge!

➹Reminders about carline: TURN RIGHT after approaching from the NORTH. Emergency personnel and clients who need to access our neighbors’ businesses need to be able to get by, so we can’t block both lanes of traffic. Additionally, the car line is faster for everyone when we follow the pattern.

 

DO NOT park along Leander Drive. Again, we are trying to be respectful of our neighbors, and your students are not allowed to cross the car line to get into cars. This is a safety issue. 

 

When the single lane divides by Sherwood Forest, parents who are only picking up students in front of Buildings One and Two should get in the LEFT lane.

 

After you have picked up your student, pull forward until the end of the lane to MERGE. When you brake and wait to merge into the outside lane, you hold up the whole car line. 

 

Do not go around cars in front of you–this is dangerous.

 

Pull all the way forward so there are no spaces between you and the car in front of you before you stop to let your student in the car. They will follow you along the sidewalk if you have to pull past them.

 

Only student drivers can pick up their siblings. Non-student drivers cannot. Please do not give the Upper sibling the car tag and ask them to pick them up and wait with them. 

 

Please do not hold your cell phone in the car line.
