Message from the Administration
Dear LKMS Parents, Guardians and Community Members,
Our students have done a fantastic job on the PARCC assessment these past weeks. Students went in to the test with a positive attitude and the readiness to show what they know and have learned. We are so proud of them!
At this Wednesday's PTA meeting the new slate of officers was elected, along with some new faces as committee chairs. We want to thank the outgoing PTA officers and committee chairs who will be leaving us this year. Your dedication and commitment to the students and staff at LKMS are very much appreciated! Welcome aboard to our new PTA members. We look forward to a successful partnership next year.
Mrs. Lublin and Mrs. Ober
