Book Fair!

Grandparents will be invited to peruse the book fair at their leisure throughout the morning. 

The grounds of LMS provide our children with the necessary materials they need to observe, explore, and experience nature. 

This opportunity is accompanied with the exposure to nature's little pests. 

What about tick PREVENTION?

Although the school has a tick-twister, which is a very effective way of removing the whole tick, there are ways to prevent ticks before they bite. 

These safe, effective products are also recommended to families concerned with tick exposure:

PERMETHRIN 

Insect Repellent Treatment for Clothing, Gear, and Tents

For use on clothing, tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor gear, Sawyer Permethrin Clothing Insect Repellent not only repels insects, it actually kills mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers, mites, and more than 55 other kinds of insects on contact.
