TJs Tidbits Greetings LMS Families, Last week was a tough one. From the school shooting in Florida to the unexpected evacuation that we had on Friday, I truly needed the four day weekend to recuperate. I sat down this evening and typed up a long message that included my feelings about everything, but have since changed my mind and want to share only this: As principal of LMS, I've understood what my job entails and have welcomed the challenge. Last week really made me reflect on how critical my role is. It starts with ensuring every student feels so valued and connected to the school that he/she would not feel such despair to want to harm anyone in the school community and ends with assuring the safety and well being of students and staff while in attendance each day. Both are absolutely essential for learning to take place. What HUGE responsibilities! Please know that I will work tirelessly to live up to these expectations and take them very seriously. For me,
