Lunenburg 300th Anniversary Design Contest Guidelines
Overview : The Lunenburg 300th Anniversary Committee invites designers, artists, and community members to participate in a design contest to create an official graphic or logo commemorating Lunenburg’s 300th Anniversary fast approaching in 2028. The selected design(s) will be used to celebrate this milestone across a variety of materials and platforms throughout the anniversary year.
Contest Purpose : The goal of this contest is to develop a distinctive, timeless, and versatile design that reflects Lunenburg’s history (incorporated in 1728), community spirit, and future. The design should be suitable for broad public use and adaptable across many formats.

Individual and group submissions are welcome.

Each participant or team may submit up to two (2) entries.

This is not a diagnostic service, but rather a program to identify those young people who should have further medical evaluation.
*All Parents and Guardians have the right to opt their child out of any of the screenings by submitting a written request.
If you would prefer that your child not participate in this screening, please send an email with your child’s name and state you would like to OPT OUT of the Postural Screening.

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.
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.
