As predicted, I failed to include the following notice last Friday. The LMS Dad's Club will be meeting in the LMS Library at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, September 30 to discuss the following agenda: Meet existing and welcome new members of the LMS Dad's Club. Brief overview of who we are and what we do. Discuss our historic social activities and events. Plan calendar of events for the school year. Lastly, we have invited Rob Garrett, Head Varsity Baseball Coach at Ladue High School, to discuss exploratory initiatives in establishing a Junior Rams baseball program at LMS.  If you have a child at LMS interested in playing baseball, this is a terrific opportunity to learn more about our initiatives and provide valuable feedback. Please contact the LMS Dad's Club President, Joe Mulligan, with questions at 314-503-4384 or joemulligan910@gmail.com I hope you've had a good weekend. Greg

Good afternoon and Happy Friday:      For some strange reason, this five-day week has gone much faster than the previous four-day week.  Maybe testing this week, resulting in longer class periods and fewer passing times, had something to do with it.      I have been toying with how I should structure these messages over the past few days.  I want to try to make it simpler for all, based upon information I think I would want as a parent.  For those of you who really need only the calendar updates, I will put them first so that you don’t need to scroll down through all the verbiage and random thoughts.  I’ll try to delete those items from the completed week and add those I think are relevant, always at least a month or so ahead.  Next will come “new” messages or updates.  Lastly will be some selected items I think need to be repeated.  I hope this works for you.  Please let me know if...
