Thank you to all of the parents who have joined the LMS PTA so far. If you are still interested in joining, it is not too late!
As a PTA member, you will stay informed about everything happening around LMS and serve as an important advocate for our community of students. When the PTA gets involved, our children benefit. Our goal this year is to have 100% parent and teacher participation.

This week begins our Kids First Coupon Book fundraiser! Our school goal is to sell 1,000 books! There are many county wide prize incentives to learn about later, as well as our own LMS prizes (including top boy and girl crowned Carnival King and Queen)!
To start off strong, help your student get involved with the Chattanooga Lookouts Grand Slam Early Bird Incentive. IF your child sells just THREE coupon books by September 9th, they will earn a FREE ticket to the Chattanooga Lookouts' final home game of the season on September 13th!

Every coupon book sold helps our school reach its fundraising goal while providing families with outstanding local savings.
To purchase a Kids First Coupon Book, click on this link: www.kidsfirstcouponbook.com. In the top right corner, click "BUY A BOOK" and use CODE: KFCB2026.
Parent Volunteers are needed to help count books sold and fill orders. Please sign up here!
If you have any questions, please reach out to Charla Nix.
