Just a quick note for our LMES families! 💙⚓

You may have received a district text about Teacher Appreciation Week this week, but LMES already celebrated our incredible teachers and staff… actually TWICE because they deserve it! 😊

We certainly never need a designated week to appreciate the amazing people who make our school so special, and we are grateful for them each and every day. Thank you for always helping us love on our LMES staff so well!

LMES Crew, we want to hear from you! 💙

As the PTO begins planning for next school year, we would love your feedback. Your ideas and input help us create events, programs, and opportunities that reflect our entire LMES community. Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey and share your thoughts. Every response helps us continue making LMES such a special place for our students, families, teachers, and staff.

If you are interested in serving more at the school, there are questions about that! Our goal over the past couple of years has been to be more inclusive and make sure everyone has a way to plug in, and we want to really amp that up even more next year!

Thank you for being such an amazing part of the LMES community!

Lights, camera… APPRECIATION! 🍿⭐️

Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is almost here, and we’re rolling out the red carpet for the incredible stars who make LMES shine every single day. From classroom magic to behind-the-scenes dedication, this cast and crew deserves a standing ovation!

Check out the themed ways to celebrate all week long: fan mail (copy in comments below), favorite treats, flowers, and more. Want to go the extra mile? Our Amazon wish list is filled with items for VIP swag bags to help us pamper them in true Oscar-worthy style or send your favorite teacher or staff member a coffee.

Most important of all: this week is meant to be simple and joyful. Kind notes, drawings, and words of gratitude mean just as much as anything else. 💛

Let’s show our teachers and staff how big of STARS they are, LMES!

*We typically do this week in May, but we decided that month is busy enough to add things to everyone's plates...so we are doing it in February to boost some spirits during a cold gloomy month! We will be doing a much simpler version in May, too!*
