Hello LMS Families!

As I'm writing this update, I can hear the 6th graders running and yelling in the hallways at our first "Kids Night Out" of the year.  When the skies darken early and the weather is dreary, it's so nice to hear students having fun and connecting with each other with laughter, food, and competition--it reminds me of why we do what we do!

Next Friday is the 7th/8th Grade Halloween Dance from 5:30-7:30pm.  The cost is $5 at the door and we'll have activities, snacks, costume contests and more!

Next Friday is also our 8th grade trip to Nashoba Tech, and it's a great opportunity for them to see what The Tech has to offer.  We will send more information on applying in the near future.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Hello LMS Families!

We just finished our first, uninterrupted five-day school week of the year!  We had our first safety drill and the kids did a great job of barricading quietly in classes, 6th graders had incredible guest speakers to make their reading of "The Medicine Bag" come alive, and we had warm sunny days for students to run around at recess and burn some energy.  A great week!

I hope you all enjoy the holiday weekend, see you Tuesday!

Hello LMS Families!

It was a wild week at LMS, but it ended with sunshine and warm weather as kids walked out the door.  We had MAP tests for ELA and math, an early release day, and lots of rain that kept us inside for a good portion of the week.  I hear next week should be lovely, so I'm looking forward to getting the kids a chance to run around!

If you're looking for a fun night out tonight, join us at Dirigible in Littleton from 7-11pm for our first Parents' Night Out!  It a great change to connect with old friends, make new friends, and enjoy the good vibes all while support the LMS PTA.  Here's a bit more information:

Parents Night Out is tonight! Tickets are still available! Come hungry and thirsty and ready to have a great time with old and new friends. See you at Dirigible Brewery 7-11 pm.

Hello LMS Families!  

We had a very nice week at LMS, capped off with a sad (but happy) goodbye to Ms. Buonacore, our long-time health teacher.  Tricia spent more than 20 years at LMS, and now she gets to enjoy her well-earned retirement.  Give her a high-five if you see her at the diner!

We have MAP testing on Tuesday and Thursday next week, with an early release day on Wednesday.  But more importantly, we have a BIG event happening next Friday, October 2:

Parents Night Out is in ONE WEEK! 

There is still time to purchase your tickets for the LMS Fundraiser event. Don't wait, purchase today and get ready to have the best time!

Hello LMS Families,

Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Back-to-School Night this week, it's always great to connect with you!  And speaking of connecting with families, you REALLY need to check out the event we have coming up on Friday, October 2.  It promises to be a great event and a little time away from the kids if you can make it, and we would love for you to join us!  Please see the details below:

An important reminder that Parents Night Out is TWO WEEKS away! 

There are only a few tickets left, don't miss out! It's the first LMS Parents Night Out Event and you will want to be a part of it! Come make history together!

Come out for a fun night with other parents, enjoy food from a local food truck, Dirigible's tasty beer, and know that you are making an impact on our school.

Hello LMS Families!

It's a beautiful day to end the week, and I hope you're able to enjoy it before the rain on Sunday!  We are slowly building toward a full week of school, and we'll get closer next week with five days (though Wednesday is an early release day).  We have our annual Back-To-School Night on Monday at 6pm, and I hope you're able to join us!  We will start in the gym with a quick presentation and then get you to the classrooms right away.  For those that need a hard copy of their student's schedule, we'll have them available in the front lobby.  More more information, see the email I sent earlier this morning.

Finally, a reminder that Parents Night is just THREE WEEKS away! 

Come out for a fun night with other parents, enjoy great food, drinks, and good company — and help the PTA's efforts to raise money for our school.

Dear LMS Families,

One of my favorite parts of the new school year is being out front when students arrive. It gives me a chance to connect with kids right from the start, see who is having a great morning, hear about what they’re excited for, and, every once in a while, recognize that someone is having a really bad morning before they even make it through the doors. It’s also been fun watching the different grades settle in. Our 6th graders seem excited about absolutely everything, our 7th graders are beginning to get comfortable with the step up in grade, and our 8th graders are already carrying themselves like veteran middle schoolers who have seen it all. Overall, everything seemed to be clicking this week, which leaves us with two possibilities: either we are incredibly well-prepared, or we have absolutely no idea what’s coming. Either way, we’re off to a great start, and I’m excited for what’s ahead!
