Wanted: Parents to help with LTS Holiday Celebration Breakfast for Students

Friday, November 17 between 7:00am -9:00am we are looking for 6-8 parents to come help Patti and Helen prepare, serve and clean up our celebration breakfast for students and faculty. Please sign up in the Comments. Thank you!

Holiday Shopping Trip Chaperones

Every year, we provide transportation to a mall or shopping center to help students get holiday shopping done.

This year, the best date is Friday,  November 12, departing at 1:00pm and returning later that evening. We are hoping to go to Mt. Holyoke.

We need parent chaperones to make this trip possible. Parent-teacher conferences will be taking place on the 11th and 12th, so we will not have any teachers available to chaperone. Patti Alexander and a bus driver will be the LTS representatives in charge, but more adults are needed to ensure the safety of our students.

Before we offer this to students, we would like to see if there is any parent interest in chaperoning. Please click “Leave a comment” (below the post title)  if you would be available. We will make sure that your parent-teacher conference is scheduled for the 11th.
