A Letter from Jami Brinton, LMSPA President

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the new school year! On behalf of the Ladue Middle School Parent Association, we extend a warm welcome to all our returning and new families. We are thrilled to have you join our middle school community.

LMSPA is a vital part of LMS, working to support our students, LMS teachers, staff and administration, as well as the overall school environment. We strive to foster a strong sense of community and provide opportunities for parents to connect with each other and with the school.

We encourage you to get involved! You can participate in our events, volunteer your time, or simply attend our meetings to stay informed. We have a variety of exciting events planned for this year, including our annual Boo Bash, quarterly parent education events, grade-level parties, and teacher appreciation events scattered throughout the year. None of this can happen without your generous support. All of our efforts are funded through the voluntary donations of our parents. Thank you!

Please reach out to us with any questions or suggestions. You can contact us at laduemiddleschool@gmail.com. We look forward to a wonderful year ahead!

Sincerely,

Jami Brinton, LMSPA 2025-26 President

Elizabeth Wahl, LMSPA 2025-26 Co-President
