The Lehighton Area Middle School PTO's annual Gertrude Hawk Fundraiser has begun! This is PTO's biggest fundraiser which will fund the 6th-8th grade students' field trip this school year.
As in years past, everyone will have an opportunity to order through the paper packet which was given to your student, or another option is to order online. https://fundraising.gertrudehawkchocolates.com/.
- Ordering with paper order form - Please make sure totals are correct and money is submitted with the order form. (Cash is accepted, as well as checks or money order made payable to LAMS PTO.)
- For online orders, the ORGANIZATION ID is Lehighton Area MS, or ORGANIZATION ID# 112184. (Please know that orders will be delivered to the Middle School, or you can choose to have it shipped directly to your home.)
Note: If anyone would rather make a donation to the LAMS PTO instead of fundraising, please send payment into the LAMS main office in an envelope clearly marked "Donation for LAMS PTO".

It’s almost incomprehensible that winter is right around the corner. But ready or not, here it comes! You can prepare yourself a bit more for the wintry weather and the interruptions it causes to school by signing up for text messages when school is closed, delayed, or dismissing early.
To sign up, text the letter "Y" to 67587.
(If you are currently receiving texts from LASD, there is no need to do anything more.)

Please be advised that not all requests for schedule changes will be honored due to the complex nature of the scheduling procedure. Certain grade level courses are required curriculum and may not be exempt from a student schedule.
