8th Grade Weekly Updates

LAST CALL FOR SLIDESHOW PHOTOS!

This is your LAST CHANCE to contribute photos for the 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 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.

Donate to the 8th Grade Celebration Fund

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!
