A little about Friends of LCS

The Friends of LCS arose from recognition by parents and community members that school faculty and administrators are full of desire and ideas to improve our children's academic experience and provide enrichment opportunities above and beyond those typically available at small community schools.

We believe that many people in the community would welcome the chance to support the school and these initiatives if only they had more information and an easy way to do so.

We are a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization. EIN #27-2277523

For a few, it was also their first time on a boat which is also an incredible opportunity to witness. Any hands-on science exploration is impactful for students because the experience stays with them. They got to learn from three scientists aboard the boat as they conducted experiments to test the water quality of Lake Champlain. They are still talking about plankton and water clarity!
