LMS Tiger Talk
November 4, 2022
Principal's Message
National Career Development Month takes place each year in November. We kicked things off here at LMS with a Career Key presentation for all 7th graders on Tuesday where they take a survey to explore careers associated with student interests and specific academic disciplines. This is a great way for our students to continue in their pursuit of Career and College exploration here at LMS and it's always fun to hear the discussion this generates with our students as they start to learn about all the amazing careers that are out there and options for their future pursuits. Thanks to Mr. Mitchell, Career and College Counselor, and our teachers for making these types of learning opportunities possible for our students.
Our drama students kicked off their production of "Raise Your Voice: A Musical Review" last night at LMS. Don't miss the opportunity to come check out these talented Tigers this weekend with additional shows tonight at 7 PM and tomorrow at 3 PM. Break a leg, Tigers!
Don't forget that Tuesday is Election Day. Be sure to get out there and vote!
Take care and Go Tigers! As always, thank you for all your support!
David Knapp
