The Panther Prowl Fundraiser
LTMS students will be collecting money until May 12th to support our all-school fundraiser, the Panther Prowl. There will be a competitive race with medals/awards for interested students and a fun run/walk for those who are not interested in competing. The goal is for each student to collect a minimum of $40 in sponsorships. Incentives are outlined at the bottom of this form. Venmo @LTMSPanthers (include participant's name when paying)
Packets / Pledge Sheets were sent home with students this week, but we have extras if you need a copy! Please contact us!
Incentives:
The 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classroom that collects the most in sponsorships will have a pizza party. Additionally, the following incentives are available to students who collect a minimum of $20.
$100 or more: shirt, games before/after Prowl, three “oops”/homework passes, movie in auditorium (no make-up work), and ice cream/Kona ice party
$40: shirt, games before/after Prowl, one “oops”/homework pass
$20: shirt and participation in the Prowl only
Our goal is to raise $15,000 ($40 per student) to help our school.
The money will be used to help fund before and after school programs, upgrade our current signage, upgrade athletic and activity resources, and to purchase classroom supplies.

LTMS Book Fair
Dear Parents and Families:
We are working hard to keep kids reading and raise critical funds for our school with our Spring Scholastic Book Fair. We are so excited to be able to offer students a sense of normalcy and joy after they’ve missed so much this year.
Our Fair will connect your kids to notable books and inspiring characters — helping them become lifelong readers.
And all purchases will directly support our school!
Important information for our Fair, held April 26-May 7, 2021 in the LTMS Library:
Safety First: The safety and well-being of your child is our priority. We’re taking extra precautions to host a safe, socially distanced Fair at our school, focusing on preventive measures. Learn more at bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/articles/safety
• Contactless Checkout: With Book Fair eWallet, a convenient digital payment account, your child can shop the Fair cash-free. And now grandparents, friends, and others can contribute to the eWallet to help build your home library!
• Shop Online: Experience the Book Fair fun by visiting our Book Fair online! You can shop over 6,000 products — and all orders ship direct to your home (with free shipping on book-only orders over $25*)!
All purchases made during the Fair will bring our school 25% in rewards.
Visit our Book Fair homepage to learn more and get started with eWallet and online shopping:

We look forward to seeing your child at the Fair! Thank you for continuing to support our school.
Happy reading,
Mrs. Leisten
