Good
afternoon.
Thank
you to everyone who helped make last Friday night’s 8th Grade Semi
Formal a great success. The kids seemed
to have a great time.
We have
the opportunity this week to honor two special groups of people who help make
LMS a great place to work and learn. May
4 through 8 is Teacher Appreciation Week AND School Nutrition Employees Week.
CONGRATULATIONS and THANKS
We would like to thank
the LMSPA, LMS Staff, and Eighth grade parents so much for all the support they
gave to ensure that we could have such a memorable Eighth Grade
Semi-formal. We could not have done it
without your gracious time, talents and financial support. A special thank you to Terry Hobbs and Switch
Liberate Your Brand for donating all the decorations and signage to make our event
so special. Thank you also to College
Hunks for lending us their muscle, and our custodian Milan Rakic for his hard
work above and beyond his normal duties.
Sincerely,
Michelle Hawkins and Abby
Hahn

UPDATED ITEMS
REPEAT ITEMS
From the Nurse
The nurse wants to remind all parents that students
are not allowed to transport any medications to
school. Parents must deliver and pick up all medications to and
from the nurse and ALL medications require a signature from a doctor - including
all over the counter medicines. A Medication Administration Form is to be
completed when your child will come into our office and we will administer
medication to them. This covers ANY prescription medication and/or
over-the-counter medication. This form must be signed by a parent and
accompanied by the prescription in the original bottle. If it is an
over-the-counter medication, the form must also be signed by a physician.
Click on the link below to access the form or you may also visit the nurse's
web page on the LMS website.
Current 7th grade
students/Immunizations for next year
Students
entering 8th grade in the state of Missouri are required to receive the TDaP
(tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) immunization. This is usually given by a doctor at age 11
or 12. If your child has not received
this immunization, please consult your physician. If you have records showing that your child
has received it, please provide them to the nurse's office.
