Audrey Ma, a first grade student at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School, recently won first place in her age group at the New Jersey Music Teachers Association (NJMTA) Young Musician Competition. This win marks the second year in a row Audrey has earned this honor!
A non profit organization, the NJMTA's goal is to advance the musical knowledge and to promote professional growth among music teachers, and to conduct activities which encourage and support teaching, performance, composition and the appreciation of music.
The Livingston High School Key Club student volunteers recently took a step back in time, leading a special tour of the high school building for the LHS Class of 1975 as part of their 50th reunion celebration!
The returning Lancers enjoyed revisiting familiar halls and classrooms while also getting a firsthand look at the many changes the building has undergone over five decades. The tour was a huge success, filled with great memories and good cheer. So much so, that the appreciative Class of '75 generously donated $500 to the Key Club to support their future community service projects. What a wonderful way to connect generations of Lancers!

Livingston Public Schools strives to respond to concerns and/or questions as quickly and effectively as possible. In a school system, as in any organization, the “chain of command” refers to communication levels of authority in the school district. The philosophy behind the chart in the link below is to refer community members to those people in the organization who can best solve any concerns or questions that may arise, and then direct them to the appropriate people if issues are not able to be effectively addressed at the first level.
STAY CONNECTED
LPS is committed to building strong relationships with students, families, and the community, and as such, we strive to provide accurate and timely information to our stakeholders.
