NEW - Summer Program Offering!
Elementary Students - Sadie Rotolo, LMS Alumna, will offer this summer program to rising First Years (children entering First Grade in the 2026-2027 school year) through Upper Elementary (Sixth Grade).
The program will focus on letting children creatively explore and interpret Shakespeare's “A Midsummer's Night Dream.” The children will problem solve how to understand Shakespearean language, resulting in a short five-scene performance of the play, where all the kids' work will be displayed through their performance abilities and creative expression. Registration is now open for LMS families.
Sale runs through Friday, May 1st:
6th Year Fundraiser - Plant Sale
Join us for a special Fruit Plant Sale in support of the 6th Year class fundraising campaign! Our students are excited to offer a thoughtfully selected variety of fruit plants sourced from Western Skye Organics Farm.
During a field trip last fall, students were invited to the farm to learn about organic gardening, pollinators, and different fruiting and flowering perennials. Our sixth years personally chose each plant variety with Western Skye Organics, making this sale a meaningful and hands-on part of their learning experience.
Don’t miss this opportunity to support our students while bringing home high-quality, locally grown plants for your garden!
