COM M U N I T Y COU N TS FI E LD DAY 2019 Did the white or green team win during Field day 2019? Does it really matter when the day is all about our LMS students coming together to enjoy time outside highlighting physical pursuits, cheering each other on, strategizing about how to beat the faculty during the annual tug-o-war contests, and ending the school year with energy?

Students ran races, played the all-important water balloon games, showed off their aiming skills, and had the chance to sign steel beams that have now been installed at the new Lower/Middle School building on Davenport Street. Thanks as always to our LMS PE team who coordinated the day, and to the PSA for their ongoing support of this GDS end-of-school-year tradition. Thank you also to parent Anna Behnam for her photography skills!
