Dear LCMS Panther Families,
I'd like to start with a shout out to our Performing Arts groups - Chorus had a great showing at the WKMG Sounds of the Season recording and our Band classes had 2 wonderful concerts this week!
We have so much going on during the next few weeks before break. Please be sure to pay special attention to the dates listed above.
This coming Wednesday, our students will participate in the much anticipated Student Government elections. Campaign videos can be viewed on the Paws52 broadcast by clicking the button above.
I know our students will also want to celebrate the upcoming holidays. We encourage them to participate in the Winter Spirit Wear dress up days this week. ***Please note - no body/face paint is allowed.
We also know they may want to exchange gifts with their friends. However, any gift that they bring must be no larger than can fit in a backpack. Students will not be allowed to carry around large bags or gifts.
Please note - the return date after Winter Break was adjusted after Hurricane Ian. Students and teachers both return on Monday, January 2.
Have a great weekend and wonderful holiday break!
Dr. Melissa Laudani
Principal, Lawton Chiles MS
Congrats to our Golden Panther for the month of December, Mrs. Maher! Mrs. Maher's organization and creativity in her classroom helps students monitoring their learning and supports them as they reach their academic goals in her science classes. Mrs. Maher is so positive and upbeat and always willing to help others. We are so lucky to have her here at LCMS!
Thanks to our Golden Panther sponsor, Café Panuzzo's
