Attention 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade Families! The Washington Township School District is evaluating the potential for introducing Fencing to our complement of LVMS extra- and co-curricular opportunities for students during the 2025-2026 School Year. Before proceeding, however, our Leadership Team wishes to survey 5th, 6th, and 7th Grade families to determine overall interest in this program. Please take a moment to complete this survey if you wish for your child(ren) to be involved in a Fencing Club if one were to happen at the Long Valley Middle School. Be aware, this survey will close on Friday, April 11th. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeAZe3HzdrXIX3_-IvEpn9vIxzlCohXrDcmapE4q6Qx4UMcAQ/viewform?usp=header
