We are excited to announce the First-Ever LMS Puzzle Palooza Fundraiser will be held Friday, February 21. Won't you join us to support SciOly's efforts and successes? You can sign up using THIS LINK before February 14 at 4:00 p.m.

Middle school is a stage of life when students experience new, big emotions. How does your student handle the big changes and new emotions? How can we, as parents and guardians, support our children? 

Inside Out 2 explores the complexities of human emotions – all while addressing the challenges of growing up. Join us on Wednesday, February 26 from 6:00-7:30 pm at the LMS gym as we participate in an interactive discussion, led by Dr. Thompson and LMS counselors. We will learn ways to effectively navigate and embrace new emotions, regardless of what stage of life we are in.

Current 6th grade students and their parents/guardians are invited to come learn together. Please RSVP here to attend.

Our 6th and 7th Grade Spring Parties are coming soon. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, we need parent chaperones. Sign up now to volunteer!

The 6th Grade Spring Party will be held after school on Thursday, April 10, and the 7th Grade Spring Party will be held after school on Thursday, April 3.

After-school buses will be available on both dates to transport students home. More to come on these fun grade-level parties!

8th grade parents: We'd like your help contributing photos for a slideshow that will be used at the 8th grade end of year party on May 3rd. We're looking for good quality photos of 8th Grade LMS kids, together, doing anything and everything inside and outside of school (please keep them clean and appropriate). We welcome photos and video clips from elementary school through 8th grade. Our goal is for every LMS 8th grader to be included in this slideshow. We prefer photos that have more than one student, if possible. 

Please upload all photos/videos by March 14 to this Google Drive folder. Contact Cara Kopec at (217) 741-6912 if you have questions or issues submitting photos. 

We will make the final video slideshow available digitally to all 8th grade families at the end of the school year. 

8th grade for LMS students is a special one filled with memorable events throughout the year, involving opportunities for leadership, academics, friends and fun. The year culminates with an end-of-year celebration on May 3rd, featuring rides, games, DJ, and lots of food for our graduates – and a near 100% attendance rate. The event is free for students, paid for by fundraisers and donations through the LMSPA. 

Make a tax-deductible donation to support the 8th grade party and year-end activities HERE. Thanks for your support!
