THANK YOU for sharing Holiday Happiness this year! Your generous donations of requested items, money and gift cards are going to bring a lot of light to this special season.

If you donated a gift card or fulfilled a specific wish on the LMS Holiday Happiness SignUpGenius, please bring your unwrapped item to the welcome center TODAY as early as possible (requested by 10 a.m.) Your student may also drop your gift in the LMS front office.

Please be sure to label the gift with the family identifier (letter) and specific individual (e.g., Family X, 3 yo pants).

If you are still waiting for an item to be delivered or have another delay, please contact Rob Heuermann. The district social work team can schedule your family for a later pickup window or coordinate a later delivery of the delayed item to the family.

As the holiday season approaches, we have a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for the amazing teachers and staff who dedicate their time and energy to making a difference in our children’s lives.

We are collecting contributions to purchase gift cards for our teachers and staff as a token of our gratitude. Your support is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in spreading holiday cheer!

The Ladue Special School District Parent Advisory Committee is a group of parents committed to collaboration and partnership for student success. This group meets quarterly to provide resources to families on topics of interest related to special education and provides a space for dialogue and supportive collaboration.

Our next meeting is January 28 at 6 p.m. at Ladue High School.

Take a chance! Help the Ladue Education Foundation go Above and Beyond for All Students by participating in our raffle to win a Meta Quest Pro VR Headset ($999 value!)... just in time for holiday gifting (or keeping!)
