Camp Cody is "a premier traditional New England summer camp" located in Freedom, NH. Cody's campers and staff attend from across the USA and a dozen other countries. This year, they have provided LMHS with $2,500 gift cards that can be used toward the purchase of a 2-week session at Comp Cody (limited to Session 1 - June 21-July 4 - or Session 4 - August 2-15). Camp Cody is open to boys and girls ages 7-15. After the gift card, families are still responsible for the remainder of the tuition for the 2-week period, about $3,000. Information on Camp Cody can be found here. Contact Principal Brighenti to claim a gift card.

There will be no school on Monday, May 25 to observe Memorial Day.

Protect your school-issued Chromebook, and save on your insurance next year! If you purchase a Chromebook sleeve you'll save $5 on your insurance for the 2026-2027 school year. (Note that our insurance provider has let us know that the insurance next year will increase from $25 to $30 -- so if you buy a sleeve for protection, the insurance rate won't increase for you.)
