Dear Lime Kiln Middle Community, 

 

On behalf of all the teachers, staff, and administration, I would like to extend my gratitude to both parents and students for their support, dedication, and hard work throughout the year. 

I hope that you've had a rewarding and fulfilling academic journey, filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. As the school year comes to a close, I want to wish each and every one of you a fantastic summer. 

Summer is a time for relaxation, exploration, and rejuvenation. It's an opportunity to spend quality time with family and friends, engage in activities you love, and create lasting memories. Whether you plan to travel, pursue personal interests, or simply take a well-deserved break, I encourage you to make the most of this time. Use this break to recharge and come back refreshed for the next school year. 

For our 8th grade students, congratulations on reaching this milestone! I wish you all the best as you move on to new adventures and endeavors.  

I look forward to welcoming our new and returning students back in the upcoming school year. Our staff will continue to strive for excellence, providing you with a nurturing and stimulating learning environment.  

Once again, thank you for making this school year a good one. Have a safe, enjoyable, and memorable summer.  

 

Best wishes, 

Tammy Jones 

Principal 

 

Please plan to join us for a community outreach event coming in July. Information will be shared soon!

 

Motivational Message 6/7/23 

Each Wednesday, Ms. Jones and Ms. Horoszczak joined the LKMS morning news show to share motivational messages with students. These were tailored around celebrations, concerns and current events.

As we move towards the end of the school year, I ask each of you to remember how important it is to always remember you are a Lime Kiln Leopard. Many topics in our motivational messages involved looking out for friends by being an upstander. Look out for each other and speak up when you witness an injustice. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a trusted adult. Each of us has the power to make the world a little bit better. Please do your part as you enjoy your summer

 

Let’s celebrate our retirees

Ms. Lisa Katzen, Mr. Micheal White, and Mr. Edward Garner are AMAZING educators and we appreciate all their years of service. Let’s wish them well in their next chapters and we will miss them but we are thankful for all that they have done for our Leopards!

 

We also bid farewell to the following staff members

​​​​​​​Mr. James Lee, Mr. John Jackowski, Mr. Nick Valenti, Ms. Jennifer Hennessie and Mr. Joshua Rettenmayer.

The HCPSS and school email/text message system will update in early August, at which point parents will automatically receive communication from your child’s 2023-2024 school (if different from the current school). Prior to that rollover, you will continue to receive communication from your child’s 2022-2023 school. During this time, please do not unsubscribe from any HCPSS or school messages as it will immediately block you from receiving all messages, including emergency notifications.
