Are we really at the end of May? What a won-derful year we have had at LMES. But we are not quite finished. As you look at our Parent Calendar for May, you can see that our last couple of weeks are filled with activities.
Please note that most of our special events will sign in at the cafeteria. This is to alleviate over-crowding.
As we prepare to wrap up our year, there are a several things that you will need to remember.
1. Please turn in your Proof of Residence. This is due each year
Reminders From Reminders From Reminders From Reminders From the Officethe Officethe Officethe Office
Proof of Residence:
The District Office has deter-mined that all students will now be required to provide 3 Proofs of Residence each year.
You will need to provide the fol-lowing:

“CHOPPED” COMPETITION TEAM“CHOPPED” COMPETITION TEAM“CHOPPED” COMPETITION TEAM“CHOPPED” COMPETITION TEAM Medication Pick-up from the Health
Room
Thank you for allowing me to help with meeting
your child's health needs this year
at school. The end of the year is
almost here and we are making preparations
for closing of the health room. If your child
has medication here at school, a parent or
guardian will need to pick up the medication
before the end of the school year. For safety
reasons, we do not send medication home with students
and medications cannot be stored over the summer. Any
medications remaining will have to be disposed of accord-
ing to DHEC regulations. Please stop by the health room to
pick up your child's medication before the last day of
school. If you need to make special arrangements, please
call Nurse Harrington at 476-4609.
Parents, if your student will need prescription medicine to
be given at school or if they have a chronic medical condi-
tion , an Individual Health Plan and/or medication form for
the 2015-2016 school year will be mailed home. These will
be mailed to you at the beginning of summer so that you
can have them reviewed and signed by your medical doctor
prior to school starting in August. This is extremely im-
portant! It helps us start the year off being able to fully
take care of your child's medical needs at school. This is
also helpful to your doctor as they get an overload of medi-
cation permission forms and IHP approval forms to sign at
the beginning of the school year!

LMES 4th Grade Students Competed in District
5's Farm to Five "Chopped" Competition - Farm to Five hosted the Healthy Lifestyles/Chopped
Challenge, based on Food Network’s “Chopped,” in
the Spring Hill High School cafeteria Tuesday, May
19. Farm to Five is Lexington-Richland 5’s adaptation
of the USDA’s farm to school program. Small gardens
are being planted at the schools and students are being
exposed to healthy eating choices. Our 4th grade team
of Katharyn J., Matthew B., Carola R-C., and Alex D.
rose to the occasion, placing 2nd in the challenge.
