As we head into Thanksgiving, we want to extend warm wishes to all our LPS families for a joyful and restful holiday. This marks our second year offering the full week off, and with travel expected to reach record levels nationwide, we hope the extra time gives everyone a little more room to breathe and maybe even avoid some traffic along the way.
While our students began their school break, our educators put the time to powerful use. We, in collaboration with Richmond Consolidated School, spent the first two days engaged in high-quality professional development strengthening our work that ultimately benefits every student we serve.
Wishing you all safe travels, meaningful time with loved ones, and a very happy Thanksgiving.

Morris and LMMHS put out the call for assistance in helping those among us experiencing food insecurity and, Boy Oh Boy, did the LPS school community step up. The LPS Community responded generously to this call to action overflowing the beds of multiple pickup trucks with Food Drive donations.
For Assistance with Food :
The Food Pantry at the Church on the Hill Chapel (65 Main St. next to Lilac Park) is open Tuesdays and Fridays from 3:30 - 4:30 PM for LPS families. Use the walkway on the right side of the chapel and enter through the side door. No sign up needed. Boxes and bags are available but bringing your own is helpful. Families choose their own shelf-stable pantry items, bakery goods, and fresh produce and dairy.

Why Donate Blood Locally?
When you give blood through Berkshire Health Systems, your donation stays right here in our community. Every pint collected supports patients at Berkshire Medical Center, the Phelps Cancer Center, the North Campus of BMC, and Fairview Hospital. That means your donation could help a neighbor, a student, a friend, or even someone in your own family.
Local donations ensure that our hospitals have the blood they need when they need it. Emergencies don’t wait for shipments from other parts of the state and neither should we. By donating locally, you’re strengthening the safety net for everyone in Berkshire County.
"We at EFC were blown away by Rose's initiative and organization. She worked closely with our staff to make sure the products collected matched what our clients really need, and the final result was absolutely amazing. For anyone who would still like to contribute, we can always accept monetary donations through our website at ElizabethFreemanCenter.org/Donate. Our needs are always changing and our storage space is limited, so for those who would like to donate supplies instead, we ask that you email us at Info@ElizabethFreemanCenter.org first so we can coordinate ahead of time."
Tonight is the night that we switch back from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time.
This year's Veterans' Wave Parade will begin at the Boston University Tanglewood Institute (BUTI), 45 West Street, Lenox, at 9:30AM on Monday, November 10th.
