Week of 5/28/24
The 8th Grade Dinner Dance will be on Friday, May 31st from 6:30 to 8:30! We have 220 students attending so far and want 200 more! Parents/guardians must register their student here: this permission click and the payment link ($15) is also in the permission click. If you paid earlier this year, you do not need to pay again. If you are unsure if you paid, you can send an email inquiry to patti.benalayat@lcps.org or to megan.anderson@lcps.org
- At the Dinner Dance, we will have baked ziti, chicken tenders, mozzarella sticks, salad, and dessert
- Student selfie/photo stations (no professional photographer unless a parent volunteers for this role; so students should bring their phones)
- We only have 7 Parent Volunteers and need about 13 more! Parent Volunteers to chaperone the dance, help set up or clean up, and more, please fill out this form
- Student attire: students typically dress up/nice for this event
Looking forward to having FUN with our 8th graders…I mean (almost) HIGH SCHOOL students…at the dance! 😊

Mr. Kubiak, Civics Teacher, will be holding an interest session for current 7th grade families on May 30th at 6:30pm in the JML Library. A team of our teachers has taken a group of students in June after their 8th grade year to Europe since 2016. The plan is to take current 7th grade students in June 2025 to France and Spain!. This is not an LCPS sponsored trip and is private.
JML 23-24 Yearbooks have arrived! We will be passing out yearbooks for students who ordered one on June 5th. If you have not ordered a yearbook, but want one, we will have a very limited availability of extra books for sale starting on June 7th. The sale of these books is on a first come, first serve basis. Students should bring $40 CASH to room 717 on June 7th.
