Dear LWGMS Families,
Congratulations to Lindsey and all the LWGMS artists for a great Art Show. It was an impressive collection of art and a great venue. Thank you families for supporting the art show and your daughters' artist endeavors so well.
The yearbook will be in this week. The book is 72 pages of full-color, glossy memories. We will hand them out at the field day on Wednesday. The cost is $30. Please pay for your yearbook by check to "LWGMS" or cash at the office. I have ordered enough for every student. Last year, even those students who thought they would not get a yearbook, ended up doing so. Please order your student's book before Wednesday so they have it in time to be signed.
We hope to see everyone at Graduation on Thursday at 6:00.
Have a great weekend!
Kirsten
