    Thanks to our parent partnership, these amenities will be waiting for our students when they return to school in August! 

    Why Do We Ask for Parent Partnership?

    • LNC students receive less funding than traditional public school students, i.e., for every $1.00 a CMS student receives, an LNC student receives ONLY 82 cents  

    • LNC receives NO funding for schools, roads, parking lots, fields, courts & playgrounds

    • Instead of asking students to sell gift wrap or oranges, with a percentage of the proceeds going to a "middleman," we ask parents to support us directly, resulting in 100% of your donation immediately improving your students' experience!

     

    Look at what our parent partnership has accomplished since 2015!

    *Deadline is May 18
