Schola Canturum at the Multicultural Event

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect At LMS! 

This week is the National Teacher Appreciation Week. Since we are administering the NJSLA we are pushing our celebration to next week. We are grateful that the PTO has donated money to ensure our staff feels appreciated!

Last week our Schola Canturum Choir students performed at the Muticultural Week culminating event on Friday. The students did an amazing job with their performance and the crowd loved them! Later on that evening our 8th grade staff held an outdoor movie for parents, students and guests. Everyone who attended enjoyed the movie Into The Spiderverse along with amazing weather for the event. Thank you to everyone who attended!

We are rooting for the 7th and 8th graders this week as they take the NJSLA! The results of the NJSLA determine how our school is rated. We hope that the students do their best and make us proud!

Daily Announcements
Love to sing? Any student interested in joining choir for next school year should see ms Andrews in the choir room to sign up for an audition time. Auditions will be held May 13-24!

Attention staff and students; if you have any empty 2 liter bottles you'd like to recycle, please bring them to Ms. Carroll in Y124, Mrs. Balinge in B109, or Mrs. Salvati in M102 to help us with our hydroponic garden.

Next year Millville High Schools will host 20 exchange students from Germany. We are currently looking for students who want to host and go to Germany for the 2019-2020 school year. Any current 8th grade students who plan to take German as their foreign language can participate next year. There will be an informational meeting on Thursday May 9th at 6:00 pm in the little theater at the Senior High School for anyone interested in participating. Anyone unable to attend should contact Mrs. Harrington in room  Y108.
