Principal's Weekly Update

Good morning. We have just concluded a pretty busy week – Parent Conferences, Red Ribbon week activities and Book Fair.  I was reviewing this in my head last night while driving home.  The successful completion of such a week is a direct result of contributions and efforts by numerous people on our staff who work behind “the scenes.” I would like to take a moment to recognize our entire staff (teachers, custodians, office staff, counselors, TAs and admins) for their contributions and support.  In particular, I wanted you to be aware of the following folks who took the lead on each: ·           Dr. Tiffany Taylor-Johnson (Associate Principal), Mary LoBosco (AP Secretary) and Joe Kleine (Technology Teacher) – Parent Conferences. ·           Narcisse Laidlaw (Librarian) and Ann Mohrmann (Library Secretary) – Book Fair. ·           Beth Mothersbaugh, Janey Worthington and...

Good afternoon: I am looking out my office window at a glorious afternoon.  I hope you have the chance to enjoy the great weather today at some point. The week, although busy with Picture Re-Takes, Fundraiser assemblies, and the end of the Quarter, went pretty well.  We did have a bat in our Gym on Wednesday morning right before re-takes were to begin on the Stage.  Our staff did a great job of 1) re-routing arriving students to other locations, 2) sealing the Gym, and 3) contacting Animal Control.  I am pleased to announce that the bat left LMS in good shape.  Picture re-takes were delayed for only a short amount of time.  Administrator classes don’t often include a chapter on bats, so the best one can do in these situations is “wing” it . . . . I am truly sorry about that. Upcoming Calendar Events: Tuesday, October 15 Ladue Education Foundation Breakfast, Frontenac Hilton – 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, October 16 Fundraiser Turn...
