Food and Hygiene Drives End Tomorrow

Join us in donating food and hygiene items for families and individuals in need in honor of Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week! LMS is accepting donations through the end of the school day tomorrow.  

Bring in non-perishable food items and water to help stock the Girls Inc. Family Resource Center Food Pantry. Donations will help ensure that families supported by Girls Inc. will have the nourishment they need to thrive. A collection bin is set up in the LMS front office.

We are also collecting toothbrushes and toothpaste to support the Chattanooga Room in the Inn. The items will become part of hygiene kits provided to families arriving at the shelter. A separate collection bin is set up for these personal hygiene donations.

Thank you for all you do to support our community!

Have a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanksgiving break starts next Wednesday, November 26. Please note that Monday, December 1, is a professional development day, so all students will return to school on Tuesday, December 2.

We hope you all have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Save the Date for the LMS Holiday Program

Preparations for the LMS Holiday Program are in full swing!

Mark your calendars to watch your student(s) perform during this year's special school performance, "A Pirate Christmas."

Dates to Remember:

  • December 2 & 3, 8:30 am: School-wide dress rehearsals (not open to the public)
  • December 4, 8:30 am: All students perform for families and guests of kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th graders
  • December 5, 8:30 am: All students perform for families and guests of 1st, 3rd, and 5th graders

Parents with students in grades for both days may choose whichever day is preferable to attend.

This year's dress code is a little bit different to fit the theme! Kindergarten through 3rd grades will dress as either pirates or elves, according to their class. Fourth graders are all "elves at the beach," and 5th graders are all pirates, aside from cast members. Parents are responsible for providing costumes for their children.

Please see the flyer that went home in backpacks last week to know which costume your student(s) need and for shopping inspiration.

We look forward to a wonderful program!

Support the Annual Fund - Win a Gift Card!

Thank you to everyone who has donated to the Annual Fund so far! Giving is a great way to show your support for your child's education - and is 100% tax deductible.  

If you haven't made your donation yet to the Annual Fund yet, now is the time! Get in the holiday spirit by making your donation between now and December 12th to win a gift card to Massey's Kitchen. The winner will be announced the following week.  

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.
