On this Snowy Day...

Hey LMES Families... on this snowy day, you can check out our new website, going live on Friday (assuming that we are in school) at 2pm.  Here is the link to it - http://www.wcpss.net/Page/1958 - it is actually live now, but not currently searchable.  We welcome your feedback via a survey accessible from the new site.  Please remember that this blog will cease to exist which means no more emails unless you sign up for the "Remind" service listed above.

Also, if your kids are bored, they could design the 2015 LMES Media Center bookmark for our bookmark design  contest.  All entries are due next Wednesday 3/4 to Mrs. Behrend or Mrs. Johnson. Unfortunately paper copies of the template with lovely directions are trapped at school, but you are welcome to access the template , download it as a pdf, and print it out on your own.  Please make sure to print it in the actual size and add your name somewhere on the paper!

Happy Sledding!!

Closed on 2/25

We are closed again on Wednesday, 2/25 due to the snow!

We Need Your Help for Spring Fling

Hey LMES Families... We Need You!!

Spring Fling is in less than two weeks (3/5 from 6pm-8pm) and we need your help to make the event a success.  The many, many snow days have made it very challenging to get enough volunteers so please take this opportunity to sign up to help.  You can use the Sign-Up Genius link if you have an account or you can just email our PTA president, Katie Lewis, at fredandkatie@bellsouth.net. 

Plan to come out and celebrate literacy with games, food, and some literary characters as well! Let's make this event as awesome as our Fall Festival was.  Oh, and you might want to do a weather dance to get rid of this cold weather so it actually feels like a Spring Fling instead of a Mid-Winter Carnival!

WCPSS out again!

We are out again Friday... Stay posted for info about Saturday school!
