Greetings!

Oops! Two things:

We forgot to include the June 25-26 LTPS-TV broadcasts in yesterday's QuickNews. Please see programs listed below for your viewing pleasure.
With the advent of our new website, we missed changing the QuickNews link to the Online Backpack on our website. Done!

We appreciate your patience as we identify along the way a few links that may need tweaking. If you see anything, please let us know. Email Steven Prentiss (sprentiss@ltps.org) or Lana Mueller (lmueller@ltps.org).

Enjoy the weekend!

Check our Online Backpack!

Community Programs

You are asked to spend approximately five minutes to complete the survey by way of the link below. The survey is entirely voluntary and anonymous.
