Captain's Corner

LMES Families,

What a roller coaster of a week! Power has now been restored for most families; however, we still have some families and teachers without power and/or water. If you are in need of help or know of a family in need, please reach out to let us know. Thank you so much for rallying together as a community to support one another. The endless stories of kindness are absolutely heartwarming. It is so nice to be part of this amazing community!

Are you interested in volunteering at LMES? If so, we have an opportunities for you!

• PTO Meeting postponed- Due to the two hour delay on Wednesday, we had to postpone the PTO meeting. We will let you know the new meeting date soon. All parents are invited to come to learn about how to get involved at LMES. We would love to see you there!
• Book Fair- The Book Fair is coming to our LMES Library on November 11-15th. Sign up here to volunteer.

LMES School Store opens this week- By popular demand, our school store will open this week and will remain open until Nov 1st. Please refer to the information below for your child's shopping day.
