7th Grade Red Team News

The 7th Red team is celebrating the spirit of giving with cre-ating holiday placemats and greeting cards to spread cheer to Meals on Wheels recipients and to local nursing home residents.

The students have been excited about the project and have created hundreds of pieces so far. Pictured is a small sam-pling of our creations.

We thank our students for wholeheartedly embracing this service project.

Lancaster Students Give the Gift of Warmth

Students at LMS donated gloves, mittens, hats and gently used winter wear for the Gloves for Love Cam-paign. Our LMS students showed great support for our community by donating items to the “Clothes Closet,” a program run by the Lancaster Depew Youth Bureau. The many wonderful items that were collect-ed were ready for holiday distribution.

STUDENT COUNCIL NEWS

By: Allie Masterson

The giving tree was a great success! The tree was located in the front lobby, across from the main office. You took a tag off the tree, bought the gift, and then brought it back. We have collected over 80 gifts for less fortunate teenagers in Lancaster.

We would like to thank LMS for being so generous and making this happen. We hope to do this again next year! I would also like to thank Alexa Wujek, Savannah Breymeier, and Ms. Blatner. After the Giving Tree was finished, I went to the Lancaster Youth Bureau to help wrap presents and distribute them.

Thank you so much to everyone who donated!
