WELCOME! The seventh grade teachers of LMS would like to welcome you to the 2018-2019 school year. Our mission is to educate and build character in the total child. We seek to demonstrate Excel-lence, Honor and Service while striving for future goals. This year we are focus-ing on providing great service to all stakeholders. Parents can assist in our efforts by offering feedback throughout the year on a T.I.P.S. form. These will be located in the front office, media center and electronically on the LMS website.

At Lovinggood, our service is FREE, but we accept “T.I.P.S.”
