Thanks to our vision and hearing screening volunteers!

Nurse WiIliams and her assistant Ms. Berger have appreciated the support of LMS volunteers, helping to wrangle students for the hearing and vision screenings that were given last week and this week. Thank you for supporting our staff, our students and our school!
