THIS WEEK AT LMS
October 6, 2017
Notes from Chris Pomroy:
STUDENT COUNCIL- The first Student Council meeting will be held on Thursday, October 12th, from 2:30 - 3:30 in Ms. Clavin's room. All students are welcome to attend.
IMPACT AID FORMS- Reminder to please complete and send in the purple impact aid form your child came home with on Monday. These are extremely important to the district and allow us to receive a substantial amount of funding. Your help is greatly appreciated!
YANKEE CANDLE FUNDRAISER- These were due today. Please return all forms if you have not done so already!
ROWING CLUB- The Ledyard Parks & Recreation Department is starting an after-school, co-ed competitive rowing team. Practices will be held every Monday through Thursday, from 2:20 - 5:00. The goal is to take two boats to compete in a five-mile race in Hull, MA, next month. Rowing is the ultimate team sport! Rowing will begin on October 10th. If your child is interested you must register at the Parks & Rec office.
WEEKLY TECH TIP- This week I want to remind you the importance of BALANCE. Check your phone a several times a day. Remember to look up from your phone and appreciate what is happening around you. Turn your technology off an hour before you go to sleep. The lights and activity affect how well you sleep. Lack of sleep causes many health issues (see the article below). Try it for a week and you will be more alert, maybe even happier and less anxious. Then keep it up and you will notice a permanent change!
