Ram Award Cardinals Game
Wednesday, April 15 is the Ram Award
Cardinals game! As a reward for students
who have earned 100 Ram Awards for showing positive character traits, LMS is
taking a field trip to see the Cards versus the Brewers. Students will be meeting at school
at 5:45 pm and return around 10 pm. In order to
participate, students must get a permission slip from the AP office and return
it signed with 100 Ram Awards. There are
a limited amount of spots available, so only the first 13 students from each
grade level to return their slips can participate.
From the LMS Nurse
If you are doing some spring cleaning over
spring break, please keep the LMS nurse's office in mind. If you have any
gently used fleece blankets or afghans you no longer need taking up space,
consider donating them to the nurse's office. We would also appreciate
sweatpants, other pants with elastic waists, and t-shirts in sizes S-XL.
Thank you!

2014-2015 Ladue Middle School Yearbook - Ordering deadline
extended!
Great news! If you haven't yet ordered a 2014-2015 Ladue
Middle School yearbook, you can still place an order. The yearbook
publisher, Herff Jones, has extended the ordering deadline for our school's
yearbook this year. The site will now be open until March 31, 2015.
The LMS students on the yearbook committee have been working hard
all year under the guidance of LMS yearbook faculty sponsors Joan Shacklette
and Sharrie Cognac to put together lots of great information, photos and
memories from this school year at LMS.
Yearbooks will be distributed at school in May, and students will
have opportunities to sign each other's yearbooks on the last day of school. The price of the LMS yearbook is $28.00.
