Staff Professional Development Day
St. Baldricks Event
The event on Friday, March 13, 2026, was a fabulous community event. Thanks to the generosity and enthusiasm of our LMS community, we raised $6,773.10 to support the fight against childhood cancer.
This year, 10 shavees bravely participated in the event—some for the very first time. We were also honored to have Mr. Berry from Lawrence Elementary School join us. Mr. Berry has been shaving his head for 18 years, raising thousands of dollars to support childhood cancer research.
A special thank you to everyone who donated, the teachers who participated in the Pie-Throwing Contest, Team Captain Ms. Jill Testa, and our Student Council for organizing such a meaningful event.
Stay tuned for photos of Dr. Milavsky spending the day in the showcase and Dr. Wasserleben showing off her TikTok dance moves!
Way to go, LMS!
