Science Department

Attention HUNTERS:  Hunting Season is here!  7th grade Science will be studying the circulatory system and we would like to have your deer hearts. Please bag and freeze your deer hearts for our upcoming dissection and deliver all hearts to Mrs. Young or Mr. Armstrong.  You don't have to be in 7th grade to do your part. We appreciate help from any grade level parent.  We will be accepting any donations until January or the end of hunting season. Please do your part for science! 

Good hunting and thank you for your support!

The Annual Holiday 

Hot Chocolate Trolley

Presented by LTMS PTO

 Staff Appreciation Committee

Thursday, December 15, 2011

 Help us bring holiday cheer by sending in homemade goodies and hot chocolate to our awesome LTMS teachers and staff during school to merry up their day!!

We need 1 to 2 dozen of your favorite sweet treats, like cookies or brownies, so that our wonderful teachers can have a little goodie with their hot beverage.

We would also love to have some volunteers for this event.  As a volunteer you will come around with us and visit each classroom and the teachers will come on out and pick their treat and hot beveraqe.  It is a fun and cheery event and, who knows, you might even catch a glimpse of your favorite student at LTMS in the process!!

The teachers love and appreciate all the events that SAC puts on and...

we cannot do it without your help.

Thank you in advance for participating in this fun event.  We love our volunteers! 

Please click HERE to volunteer and donate! 

Please email us at sac@ltmspto.org if you have any questions.
