William Hanna has earned a major musical achievement this year, being accepted into the CJMEA (Central Jersey Music Educators Association) Regional Band on both trumpet and French horn. Earning a spot on one instrument is impressive, earning it on two shows rare versatility, strong work ethic, and real musicianship. William’s success was especially notable on French horn, where he placed #4 in the entire region. Congratulations to William on representing our program at a very high level!

New to the fundraising effort is the introduction of Coin Wars. Boxes are set up in the main hallway by house for students to drop loose change. Coins will be assigned points and tallied at the end of the contest. The house with the most "coin" points will be recognized. All of the coins collected will be donated back to St. Baldrick's.

We have recently noticed an increase in the number of students arriving late to school and to class. To ensure that instructional time is protected, we want to remind families about our tardy policy.

Students are expected to arrive to school and to each class on time and ready to learn. When a student arrives after the start of the school day, they must report to the main office to sign in and receive a late pass before going to class. Please note that three (3) lates to school equal one (1) absence, as outlined in the handbook. In addition, students who are tardy to class four (4) times within a single trimester could recieve an after-school detention, lunch detention or lose cardinal club privileges.

We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing the importance of punctuality so that all students can make the most of their instructional time. Thank you for your continued support.

Yearbook Orders are Due by April 24, 2026. You may order online at jostensyearbooks.com. Yearbooks start at $32.

Photo-Sharing

There are never enough pictures for the yearbook. With this in mind, families are encouraged to share pictures they have of LMS events and activities that can be shared in the yearbook. Please feel free to upload away. Also include any funny photos for "Please don't put that picture in the yearbook!"

There are a variety of ways to upload and share the photos.

1. See the attached flyer for ways to upload and share photos.

2. Email the photos to lmsyearbook@ltps.info
