Do You Live or Work on Federal Property in Maryland?
Our schools are heavily impacted by federally connected students – those parents/guardians who work on federal property in Maryland, live on federal property in Maryland, and/or are active duty military personnel. Because of this impact, we receive federal grant funds to operate and maintain our schools and enrich school programs. To receive these funds, the U.S. Department of Education (USDE) requires us to survey each student to determine eligibility.
SMCPS is encouraging all parents/guardians to please take the time to access and complete the Impact Aid Survey Form online, located in the Home Access Center (HAC). Once logged in, directions to access the online form can be found HERE. A video with instructions is available HERE. The form can now be accessed in Spanish by clicking on the Globe in the top right-hand corner once the form has been started. The deadline for the online submission of Impact Aid Program Survey forms is November 14, 2023.

Jingle Bell Run
For the past several years LMS has participated in the Jingle Bell Run on Solomons to support the National Arthritis Foundation. Last year we were recognized as the largest team and the top fund-raising team! Our team includes students, teachers, family and friends. Please consider joining us this year on December 2nd, at 9:00 am, at the Calvert Marine Museum. The race is a timed 5K, but is open to walkers, joggers, strollers, pets on leashes and is a family-friendly event. It's a beautiful course along the Patuxent River and it's very festive. Participants and dogs dress in holiday gear and there is a 100-yard dash for kids prior to the race start time.
Click the link to join our team. The registration fee is $40 until November 1, when it goes up to $45. Contact Mrs. Dade at jtdade@smcps.org
for more information.
Dear Families of the Leonardtown Community,
This year’s Wreaths Across America Day will take place on December 16, 2023. On that day, more than 2 million Veterans’ Wreaths will be placed across Local, National and Military Cemeteries as well as Veterans’ Memorials and historic sites. The Maryland Veterans’ Cemetery in Cheltenham is one of the local locations where wreath laying honoring our country’s fallen heroes takes place. There are over 28,000 gravesites, of which more than half go without a remembrance wreath each year.
Leonardtown Middle School is an official sponsorship group (MD0402P) for Wreaths Across America. This is our fourth year and with your help it can be the best year yet. Our goal is to sponsor 250 wreaths. You can help us reach this goal by sponsoring one or more wreaths that will go directly to the cemetery in Cheltenham. One wreath sponsorship is only $17.00. There are many options available. By sponsoring a wreath, you can help to REMEMBER AND HONOR the American heroes that served. Sponsorship can be done directly by going to the link below. The link will take you directly to the LMS site and guarantee that we receive credit for your sponsorship. All orders must be received by November 28th. This fundraising opportunity is being brought to you by the MTSS committee in hopes of raising funds for student assemblies, incentives to promote the P.A.W.S. program, and promoting a positive culture at Leonardtown Middle School.

Please click on the link to learn more about the organization and its goals, and to take this opportunity to Remember and Honor those that have served.
Thank you in advance for your support.
