Curriculum Sale, Swap or Give Away
Friday, July 15th
7am - 12pm
If you still have curriculum to sell/swap/ give-away, or you are still looking for next year's curriculum, a used curriculum sale will be held Friday, July 15th at the Murray Family Church (411 Maple Street Murray, Ky) from 7-12. If you would like to sell/swap/giveaway items please bring a folding table for your use if you have one. The church is allowing us to use their air conditioned building to set up.
So, come on down, and let's make a deal as Tom T. Hall would say. If you will be joing us, please drop me a line just so we have an idea of how much room will be needed. It is not mandatory to do so, but will help with setting up. Thanks! Michelle Frownfelter

LAMP has always held some sort of history fair, and this year will be no different except that our older children will have the option of taking their project to the state level competition.
The LAMP History Event is always a lot of fun for children at whatever age, and fun for the parents to see their children shine as they display what they've learned.
We encourage the students to attend and participate in this meeting. We will be giving out information along with a multi-media presentation about past history events and National History Day. Please visit the National History Day page for more information.
