Message from Mr. Blum:
Hello LOMS Lions, 

Just so we are on the same page.  

You may not mass email the school for any reason.  We are not going to use school email as an advertising agent, chat room, spamming tool.  

From this point forward, if there are any all site emails, they will result in a multiple day detention.  

I hope that this is very clear.  

If there is something that you don't understand about this message, please talk to me in person or talk to one of your teachers about what is unclear. 

Thank you.
