LMS Key Dates

Laurin Veteran's Day Assembly, 11/10/25

Please join us for our annual Veteran's day assembly on 11/10/25. 

Assembly will be in the gym at 1:45 pm.

Hello Laurin Community,

It's that time of year for the Laurin Middle School Holiday Giving Tree to support Laurin families that need assistance during this holiday season due to hardship. This is your opportunity to refer a family or your family to these events.

Holiday Giving Tree - Supports Laurin Middle School families by identifying the children within the household. We ask for a item that the child wishes for and an item the child needs. These are tags that are added to the Giving Tree. The community pick tags from the tree to purchase a gift. The gifts are purchased, wrapped and return to the Laurin office with the tag. Gifts for these families will be picked up during the last week of school before the winter break.  We will accept referral up until November 14, 2025.

If your family or a Laurin family that you may need us to consider then please click on the links below.
