Night Out for Lookout and Grandparents Day Updates

Night Out for Lookout and Grandparents Day are coming up on March 6.

Night Out for Lookout is an adults-only annual fundraising event held on the mountain every spring. Mark your calendars: tickets go on sale February 11!

This year’s theme is “Saddle up for Lookout,” so get ready to dance the night away in your favorite blue jeans. The event will be held at the Lookout Mountain Golf Club, with live music, dinner, and an auction.

We are especially excited for several new auction items this year, along with a brand new, easier-to-use online auction platform. Stay tuned - we'll begin previewing auction items next week!

Grandparents Day Updates

Grandparents Day will take place from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on March 6. This is another treasured LMS tradition that allows grandparents or other special family members to visit the school for performances, classroom tours, refreshments, and more.

This year, in lieu of paper invitations, we will be collecting RSVPs from LMS parents via an online form. Please start thinking about which extended family members and/or friends you would like to attend this special event. We'll share the RSVP link starting next week.

Thank you for all you do to support LMS!

5th Grade Parents: When pre-ordering your yearbook, you can also purchase an ad/dedication for your graduating child! Simply click on the advertisements button and check the box  “Business Card Color". After purchasing for $20, email your graduation message and a high-resolution photo to lookoutyearbook@gmail.com. Examples are included in the image below.

Support the Annual Fund

Save the date! The annual "Battle of the Grades" will begin on February 9.

If you haven't had a chance to donate yet, now is the time! Send in your contribution today to get your name added to the Parent Honor Roll. The grade with the highest parent participation will win a class party.

Donations to the LMS Annual Fund support 8 positions at the school, in addition to providing valuable resources for faculty and staff, all while ensuring our students can learn and grow in a safe environment.

Our goal is 100% parent participation this year, so let's work together to make it happen! You can mail in your donation, submit your donation online, or use the QR code below to pay directly.
