Dear 8th Grade Families,
The spring is an exciting time of year as our 8th graders complete their middle school journey and prepare to take the next step to high school. The LMK Moving Up Ceremony is a particularly special occasion that recognizes your children's accomplishments during their time at LMK Middle School.
