Plant Sale

The Ledyard Middle School Environmental Science and Agriculture class is fortunate enough to have a table at the Ledyard Garden Club plant sale this year. We will be selling plants that we have grown in class. We are looking for some volunteer students to help manage the selling table and help do general plant sale tasks. The sale is held in the pavilion near the Ledyard Food Pantry. We will need help between the hours of 7am to 1pm. If you can work any of the hours on Saturday May 16th 2026 please let me know at Awellman@ledyard.net.

Sock Sale

There are still Ledyard socks for sale! Please support the LMS Bike Club and show off your Ledyard pride!

Socks are $10.00 per pair. Checks can be made out to Ledyard Middle School - please write "socks" on the note line. Cash can be brought to the main office.

We will be at the Ledyard Farmers Market on June 10th.

The A, B, C's of Being an LMS Student

With one quarter left of the school year, the school community will be focusing on the core values of being a student at LMS. Students will be expected to focus on their:

A: Assignments (work is completed and turned in on time)
B: Behaviors (prepared for class, follows class rules)
C: Collaboration (works well with others, does not sabotage)
D: Diligence (on task, does not waste time)
E: Engagement (participated in class)

The goal is to motivate and support classroom engagement and participation in addition to the values of kindness and respect. Each Friday for the remaining part of the year, we will follow an activity schedule and have a 40 minute activity/ recess for students to participate in. Students that do not meet the expectations of being a student will be given that time to revisit their core educational needs with academic instruction and support.

LMS Administration will be meeting with students on Monday morning (April 20th) to review this process.

Biking Club Info

Please email Mrs. Gallagher kgallagher@ledyard.net if you have questions.
