Here is what's happening in our building
All School Art Show
The Lunenburg Public Schools Art Department and Lunenburg Public Library proudly present:
The Annual All School Art Show
Join us in celebrating the creativity of students from across the Lunenburg district. This is a great chance for families to see the work that is being made at all grade levels. For students it’s an excellent chance to get inspired and get a sense of what art classes they may want to take in the future.
The All School Art Show will be on display in the Wallace Community Room at the Lunenburg Public Library from January 16th through February 12th. There will be a reception on Thursday February 5th from 6 - 7:30pm and will also have craft workshops for all to engage with.
After School Music Program
The Lunenburg After School Music Program is starting up its second session on January 20th. This is a great opportunity for students to learn a new instrument or get better at one they already play. This program is open to all Lunenburg Public School students and if you have any questions, please contact the Program Coordinator, Geoffrey Sheldon at gsheldon@lunenburgschools.net. Forms are due January 16th at the latest for placement with an instructor.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day
We pay tribute to the life work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, January 19, 2026. School will be closed on that day in his honor. I would like to share a famous quote and video of Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” Speech if you would like to view it this weekend. Here is a favorite quote from Dr. King:
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
Clothing Drive
The class of 2026 has extended our clothing drive fundraiser and will offer a convenient drop off time on Saturday, 1/14 from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM in front of TC Passios. All donations must be in 13 gallon size trash bags or larger. Clean out those closets and help the Class of 2026!
LMHS January Breakfast and Lunch Menus
Middle School Students Who Are Unsupervised In The School Building After School
A reminder that LMS students who stay after school have to be given permission to do so by an adult in the building. After school help with a teacher or participating in an activity or sport is fine, but waiting to watch a sport or just hanging around is not ok. Students have been roaming in classrooms and places they shouldn't. Students will be asked to contact their parents for a ride and will receive a consequence. Thank you for your support in keeping students safe.
LMHS Health and Wellness Survey
Parent Notification
We will be conducting a Health and Wellness Survey for grades 6-12 on Tuesday January 27 though Thursday January 29. The questions contained in this survey are designed to obtain student’s opinions about a number of health and wellness questions. This information will be used to guide the health curriculum for both the middle school and high school.
In order for the results to be the most accurate it is extremely important for students to be as
honest as possible on this survey. This survey is completely confidential and voluntary.
Since it is an anonymous survey NO NAMES or PERSONAL INFORMATION will be collected. Also, students may skip any questions they do not wish to answer.
If you would like to review the survey questions, please use this link: LMHS Health and Wellness Survey 2026 - Google Forms.pdf
If you have any questions or do not want your student to participate in the survey, please email:
Katie McGuire RN @ kmcguire@lunenburgschools.net
National Honor Society Peer Tutoring UPDATE
The LHS National Honor Society is offering peer tutoring to any student in grade 6-12. Peer tutoring will occur every Tuesday and Thursday after school from now till the end of the school year. Tutoring will be located in the LMHS library from 2:35-3:30pm. All are welcome. No appointment necessary.
Message from the LMHS Health Office
General Guidelines for School Attendance
If you have any questions or need help determining whether your child is well-enough to attend school, please call the health office before sending your child to school.
Health Protocols for Illness
Please keep your child home from school if they display any of the following symptoms:
Fever of 100 degrees or more, and until the child has had a normal temperature for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.
Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
Uncontrollable or severe cough.
Rash of unknown cause.
Signs of infection of the eyes, ears, nose, throat, skin or scalp.
Please follow these guidelines when determining whether or not your child is ready to return to school after having been sick.
Temperature must be normal for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.
At least 24 hours after intestinal illness (vomiting or diarrhea) has resolved.
Improvement or treatment of cough following primary care provider instructions
Improvement or treatment of rash following primary care provider instructions
Treatment of infection following primary care provider instructions for return to school.
Please remember, though your student may meet the above criteria, they may not have the energy level for return to school and full day of activity.
If your child becomes ill at school, you will be called to take them home. We understand the difficulties of working parents and ask that you make sure you are prepared for this possibility. Waiting for hours in the Health Office is very difficult for children who are not well. Current phone numbers and email addresses are essential to facilitate prompt communication with families. Families need to provide the school with reliable emergency contacts, indicating individuals who will be able to come to the school and pick up their child if they become sick during the school day. Please update and submit an Emergency Medical Form for each child, every school year. Dismissing sick children in a timely fashion is imperative for the safety of all.
Please contact your school nurse if you have any questions or concerns.
On Saturday, January 10th, clothing drive donations can be dropped off at the front of theT.C. Passios building from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Just a reminder that all donations should be placed in 13 gallon trash bags or larger.
