Dear LCMS Panther Families,

In this season of giving thanks, I would like to thank those of you who donated a basket of food for our Thanksgiving basket drive. We were able to provide Thanksgiving dinner to 45 of our families. We will be doing an Angel Tree drive after the break, so stay tuned for details.

Please remember that all visitors must ring the doorbell at the front door and wait to be let it. We are starting to have issues with the door because people are just pulling on it without waiting. Please also remember that there is no drop-off of any kind including food, money, uniforms, projects, etc.

As I am writing this, I have not yet yeard about our makeup days from Hurricane Nicole. As soon as we have that information, I will send it out to you. Please follow us on social media for the most up-to-date information. The links can be found at the bottom of this page.

Lastly, thank you to all of our Panther families for your support of our teachers, our academic and fine arts programs, our clubs, and our athletics. Please don't forget to extend your support to PTSA through purchasing at PTSA membership here: https://lcmsptsa.memberhub.com/store

Have a great weekend and wonderful holiday break!
