Dance Re-Scheduled to 9/11
Due to a conflict with our High School Football's home opener, we are moving our dance to September 11, 2009.
News 8/24
Our first week is going great! Students and Staff are back into a rhythm and all things are running smooth.
One of our goals is to increase our character education program. This would include decreasing the amount of bullying and harassing. We believe that getting our kids working with each other more closely will help improve these things.
To that end, we started our first couple of days with a lot of team building activities based upon our seminar teams. Each group of seminar kids had to come up with a team mascot. We then had a dodgeball tournament with the seminar classes as the teams. The Cobras came all the way back from the loser’s bracket to defeat the Anaconda/Gecco team for the championship. The Fighting Armadillos took the sixth grade championship and third place overall!
Preliminary MAP Test results are in and LMS did fantastic. Six of seven classes improved their scores over last year’s test. We also beat Plattsburg’s scores in six of seven areas. (We have a running bet with them involving a travelling trophy!) All of our scores were better than the state average too. Last year was just a super year all around!!
We are moving our first dance from this Friday the 28th to September 11th. We sure want everyone to come out for the first H.S. Football game on Friday so we don’t want to have a conflict with our dance.
All four of our student restrooms have been renovated and are completely touchless. They look great!
Thanks to all of you for helping us get our new year off to a great start. It is our sincere hope to work closely with you to make this year even better than last year for all of our kids!
