Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week 2022
We also thank the LM PTA for providing our Teacher Appreciation lunch. This is a tradition that we all enjoy. Thank you for your continued support!
Looking for Donations
Food Donations: We are looking for donations for food sampling. Families will have a chance to try bite size pieces of international foods. If you are willing to provide food, we are looking for volunteers to bring a minimum of 125 bite-sized portions. We will need food dropped off and ready to serve between 5:45 pm and 6:00 pm on the day of the event. We also ask that you submit the ingredients for allergy purposes. If you are too busy to cook, we are happy to accept food from a local restaurant. We will gladly attach the business name/logo to the ingredient card. We are also looking for dessert donations to serve during the fashion show. Desserts will need to be pre-cut so we can serve as finger foods. Click HERE to sign up for a food donation. Fashion Show Participants: Our event will conclude with a fashion show. We are looking for people to dress in cultural attire. If you or your child is interested in participating in this part of our program, please click HERE to sign up for our cultural fashion show. We hope you will join us for this cultural celebration. You can sign up for as many opportunities as you would like.

Reminder for 8th Grade Hershey Park Trip
We are looking forward to the 8th grade class trip to Hersheypark scheduled for Thursday June 9, 2022. We wanted you to be aware of a change that Hershey made for their amusement park this year. Hersheypark has gone cashless. This includes all food vendors, gift shops, and any games in the park. The park will accept credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, and Hersheypark Gift Cards. There are Cash-to-Card kiosks around the park where students can load cash onto a debit card to be used in the park. Additionally, e-gift cards can be purchased before the trip and used in the park as well.
For more information on this change, please visit Hershey’s FAQ website: https://www.hersheypark.com/info/faqs.php.

Information and Reminders from the Office
Makeup testing will occur as students return to school and are available for testing.
Keystone Testing for Algebra I will be next May 18 and May 19, 2022.
Pick Up at Murray Avenue:
Please park in a parking spot when waiting to pick up your child and not along our sidewalk. This prevents late buses from pulling in to pick up students.
Interim Progress Reports are viewable in the Home Access Center as of 5/10/22. Please check on your child's progress as the end of the year is quickly approaching.
Blue and Gold Day will be held Thursday, May 26, 2022. The rain date will be May 31, 2022.
Students should dress for outside activities.
