Students need to bring a lunch from home on Thursday.  No glass or energy drinks in lunches, Please!
 
Students should not have any electronic games with them!  IF they do bring any and something happens, LRMS is NOT responsible for lost or damaged items.
 
Please remind students they are representing LRMS while on the trip and need to act accordingly.  Let's show Charleston why LRMS is the best middle school in Raleigh!
