This is the Morris School's biggest fundraiser of the year (located in Lilac Park)
We hope to see you there tomorrow!
Students greeted and thanked the Morris Library benefactors.
The Kimmel's were responsible for the recent Morris Library makeover and yesterday they paid a visit to meet some of the students and see the results. The student representatives were thrilled to show off the bright and cheery spaces, the cozy nooks, and the new books.
We send our sincerest thanks to Harvey & Virginia Kimmel for their generosity. We also need to thank the Katie O'Neil (Town Library Director), Vanessa Justice (Youth Librarian), and Sara Jarvie (Youth Assistant) for the tremendous amount of time and energy they gave assisting Katie Pratt (LMMHS Librarian) and Janet Tone (Morris Library Paraprofessional) in transforming this space. Our school community is fortunate to be the recipient of such generosity of funding and time.
This is the largest annual fundraiser and community awareness event supporting survivors of domestic and sexual violence across Berkshire County.
Rory Mosher, LMMHS Band Teacher, was part of the Eagles Trombone Ensemble entertaining the crowd.
A particular shout out is due to our Juniors, whose combined 89% (42% meets expectations and 47% exceeds expectations) proficiency rating on last year's 10th-grade ELA MCAS placed them #3 in the entire state of Massachusetts!
Keep in mind that the 10th-grade MCAS is a snapshot taken at one point in time, but the skills being measured have been built over the years. Our elementary, middle, and high school teachers can all take pride in contributing to that foundation.
That said, Ms. Getzen deserves tremendous credit. Students excel under the guidance of phenomenal educators.
I speak for the entire LPS Community when I say to both students and teachers: You make us proud!
Thank you also to the Lenox voters who continue to support and believe in the importance of a quality public education.
Our first locally sourced ground beef is coming to Lenox Public Schools cafeterias soon!
Thanks to a USDA grant secured by our Grant Writer last year, we’re proud to be part of building a sustainable, local food supply network for our students and community.
It's on the October 7th menu!
Our friends at the Lenox Police Department asked that we help share the word about the Blood Drive they are sponsoring at Lenox Public Safety Complex on Wednesday, September 30th between 8:30AM & 3PM.
Apple Squeeze volunteers still needed and baked goods still wanted. Please lend a hand, if you can.
Thank you.
