  • "It's CARNIVAL TIME in TENNESSEE!" LMS Fall Carnival promises to uphold this sacred tradition in our community
    Sep 23 2025

    "Many hands make for light work" " It runs like a well-oiled machine"

    The HUGE TEAM EFFORT ...

    Laura Cleary, Lindsey Whittaker and Melissa Koehl share about what parents and all folks planning to attend this great fall event on Lookout can expect. All three are moms of little ones at the school and they are super busy working towards a truly fun, well-organized and memorable event for everyone. They are QUICK to point out that it is a TEAM effort with everyone -around 75 this year - working in concert from their own parents helping to other parents to community grandparents to town workers and our police force. Several local businesses are also jumping in to say thanks and show support for our community - so a big THANK YOU to them!

    Listen in to hear what to expect and a few tips for the carnival as well as food ideas for dinner that night.

    LMS is truly blessed to have such great leadership and teachers and with the complement of supportive parents it really does make for a powerful school community - thanks to all involved and here's to a fun and safe event.

    Please come out and see, walk through, spend a little and eat, if possible, on Tuesday night Sept. 30!

    See you there!
