Principal's Message
Hello LMS families -
Happy end of the school year to all our students! The last day of school is always a bittersweet one for our staff (hopefully for our kids, too :). It has been an AWESOME year, and I congratulate each of our students for reaching the finish line. As we wrapped up our school year yesterday, students spent the day celebrating, playing games, hanging out and eating pizza and Kona Ice. While our 7th grade students enjoyed their end of year parties, 8th grade students here went on field trips this week and enjoyed a fun, final day yesterday, as well. We welcomed home our DC travelers last night, and it sounds like it was an awesome trip! I've heard amazing things about our students on the trip from our teacher chaperones. They were so complimentary of the students' positive behavior, gratitude and respect paid to the spaces they visited. Well done, kids!
I want to thank each and every one of you for all your support and work together in support of each of your kids. I know how proud I am of every one of our students, and I hope that each of them can walk away from the school year feeling pride in their accomplishments and with great memories from their year at LMS. The end of this school year was a very special one for me as I will be taking on a new role outside of Loveland next year. My time serving my home community is something that has truly meant the world to me. I'm so proud of our students, staff, school and district and will forever consider myself a Loveland Tiger. It has been a joy partnering with you in support of our Tigers. Loveland is truly such a special place, made that way because of special people like you.
From all at LMS, happy summer, everyone! Be safe, have fun!
Take care and Go Tigers,
David Knapp
