A great snapshot of what makes LMS special
Mrs. Gray provides a welcoming space during lunch for students to take a break, color, and connect. This week, students created motivational posters for testing, and we love that Officer Story joined in as well.
Building relationships and supporting students goes beyond the classroom.

From watching the eggs develop to holding the newly hatched chicks, this hands-on experience sparked curiosity, questions, and excitement for everyone involved.
