THE PATRIOT PARENT CONNECTION
2024-2025 Week of September 9, 2024
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Last week was undeniably tough for our school community. Our thoughts and prayers continue to be with those affected by the recent tragedy. To keep our school safe, we remind everyone: if you see/hear something suspicious, say something. Report any concerning behavior or potential threats to school staff or authorities immediately. We want to emphasize that students who make threats of any kind, whether intended seriously or as a joke, will be held accountable for their actions. The safety and wellbeing of our students and staff is our highest priority. Let's continue to support one another during this challenging time. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
Love,
Your LMS Admin

In honor of our school's legacy, we will be holding an assembly for our students to honor the meaning behind Patriot's Day. Feel free to share with your student "where were you" on 9/11. We are asking our students to show their Patriot pride by wearing school colors. All 6th graders will wear RED. All 7th graders will wear WHITE, and all 8th graders will wear BLUE.
