Toy Drive
The LMS staff is hosting a "New Toy Drive" now through December 15th. New toys will be collected by grade level and the grade level that collects the most items will receive the "Christmas Spirit Stick". The Christmas Spirit Stick will be given each year to the class who collects the most items for our drive. This year our goal is 80 new toys or items for our adopted families. If LMS reaches our goal, Mr. Fine will dress as our very own LMS Elf and deliver treats to the winning grade level. Students should bring their new toy donations to their 1st period class and a tally will be posted in the bulletin.

Veteran’s Day Assembly
We had an assembly to honor our veterans last Thursday. About 18 veterans honored us with their presence. We learned about the pledge of allegiance and the history of TAPS. The local VFW Post presented the colors and Ernie Boyd played TAPS as we remembered our fallen heroes.
Basketball
We had our first basketball games last week. All four teams went 1-1 in the North Platte Tournament at Dearborn. We play in the Plattsburg Tournament this week with everyone playing against Lawson on Tuesday, then winners play Friday and teams that lose play on Thursday. Good Luck to all the teams.
Science Program
The Missouri Western sponsored “Bio-Bus” was at LMS last Tuesday presenting to our 8th graders all day long in 90 minute shifts. This is a tour bus that is outfitted with the latest bio-technology equipment. Our 8th grade Science teacher, Sherry Wolf, signed up for this program through Missouri Western. This bus is taken around to area schools and presents to their classes on many Science topics. They will be at our school a couple of times this year.
School on Monday the 22nd
Don’t forget next Monday the 22nd is one of only two times this year that we will have school on a Monday. We will do the one call to remind you at some point this weekend.

First Quarter Improvements
Here are some data comparisons between this year’s and last year’s first nine weeks:
1. Our attendance is up from last year, 96.17 to 96.59%.
2. The number of detentions assigned is down 23%.
3. Our overall G.P.A. went up from 3.171 to 3.23.
4. The percent of our total grades that are A’s or B’s went up from 82.1% to 85.6% and our total percent of D’s or F’s were down from 5% to 4.9%.
5. 37% of our kids qualified for a Gold Card – highest number ever.
Maybe the most important thing is that our teachers report that they think they are covering more information in their classes. We don't really have any data to back that up, but it's good to know.

News and Events August 31, 2010
We have two new staff members this year at LMS. Andrew Palmer is a second year teacher who we hired to teach our seventh and eighth grade reading. Kami Hartzell is also a second year teacher who will be teaching sixth grade for us, mostly sixth grade Science. Both are bringing a lot of energy and new ideas to our district.
We also have about ten new students so far this year. This puts the number of kids in our building at 195 which is ten more than we have had since we moved up here. Our two lunch shifts are really full this year for the first time. (More kids = more noise. J)
We have begun using the School Wide Positive Behavior Support System that the elementary has been using for a couple of years hoping to improve the classroom behavior of our students. While the elementary focuses on Respect, Responsibility, and Safety, we chose to focus ours on Academics, Attitude, and Actions. We have been teaching, correcting and rewarding and I think the students have really responded.
The end of the first progress period is this Friday and reports will go home with the kids next Wednesday. Please look for that report and call us if you have any questions.

Great First Week!!
We had a great first few days of school. Students and staff all worked very hard at learning our expectations and procedures.
We did have quite a bit of excitement to finish off our week though. We had a Tornado Warning at about 2:10 so we all packed into our shelter location for about 20 minutes. Overall, students were very patient and well behaved. Our phones were out for the rest of the afternoon, half of our rooms didn't have lights and/or electricity, the band room took on some water again and about a third of one of our big old trees in the front yard broke off, but other than those things, everything turned out fine.
We're looking forward to really getting it going next Tuesday! We'd love to hear how it went for your child. Questions, comments and concerns are always welcome!

Weekly News May 5th
The Spring Music Concert was Thursday night in the PAC. A large number of parents and family were treated to a great show by the bands and middle school choir. Congratulations and good job to all of the students and the teachers; Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Rogers!
Where has the time gone? We have had so much going on academically and with activities that the last month has flown by. MAP Testing went very well. Thanks to all of you for helping us motivate our students. They worked very hard on the tests and we are hopeful that their efforts will be rewarded with superb scores!
We have had several track meets with many individual successes. Team success at track meets is largely a function of having a large number of participants. None of our teams have enough kids to seriously challenge for a team title but they still give their best effort every meet! Last meet is Friday the 7th at North Platte.
Many of you have asked whether or not we are still having summer school. We are still unsure, but we hope to know more during the week of the 10th. We will keep you informed.
Our last couple of weeks are packed with special activities. Make sure to check the calendar events posting to keep up with which direction your child is heading!

We are doing everything we can to prepare our kids for the MAP tests that begin on April 14th. We test one session in the morning and one session in the afternoon with some down time in between. All of our students will test on April 14 and April 15 and our 7th and 8th graders will also test on April 20 and 21.
Parents can help by stressing the importance of these tests, encouraging their children to do their best and making sure they get plenty of sleep on nights before testing.
Coach Tichenor sponsored a Hoops For Heart event last Friday. About 24 students in grades 6-8 raised around $1000 for the American Heart Association. Amanda Gannon was the winner of the shootout held last Friday during seminar. Susan Remmert raised the most money.
We are hosting a Four Day Week and Budget Forum next Wednesday, the 7th, at 6:00 p.m. in our Performing Arts Center. We thank those of you that have responded to our survey and thank you for any comments you have provided. Your input is definitely appreciated.

Our sixth graders are working on music from the 40's and 50's for their March 2nd Concert. If anyone has any special interest of music or musical talent concerning music from that era and you would like to share it with our kids, please contact Mrs. Bennett.
We moved our Spelling Bee to Tuesday, February 16th, due to the weather last Monday. It will still begin at 7:00.
Parent-Teacher Conferences went great last week. I heard about many good conversations between teachers and parents. Lots of great ideas on how to improve what we are doing to help the kids. This week will get started implementing those ideas.
We have not decided on a date to make-up the dance yet. We should decide this week.
Coach Tichenor will be taking our 8th Graders to Snow Creek for skiing on February, 26th. All 8th graders received the information and permission slips a couple of weeks ago. This is always a fun trip! Here's a tip I hope we remember on the 26th...WEAR SUNCREEN! The last two years we have had kids return with terrible sun/wind burns on their faces. Parents: Please get those papers signed and returned to the school ASAP.
Not much more for news. Academic Team is over and Track doesn't start for a couple of weeks so we're kind of in between activities right now. A good time to focus on student learning!

Our Academic Team had its first competition last Thursday, we won two of six games against Lawson. They play again Monday at Mid-Buchanan and Thursday at East Buchanan. Good Luck!
We have an early out this Wednesday, the 27th and also next Wednesday, February 3rd.
We started our DEAL Time last week. At the end of the day on Wednesday and Friday we take a group of students that were close to scoring proficient on last year's MAP test and give them some extra instruction on the test and test taking strategies. The different groups are 7th and 8th Communication Arts, 7th and 8th Math and 8th grade Science.
Over the last couple of weeks all of our students have been taking Benchmark Tests on our Study Island program. If you have an Internet connection ask your student to log in and show you his/her results. The benchmark tests are sort of like mini MAP tests that show our students progress throughout the year. This is our third of four rounds of testing.
Our sixth graders are working on music from the 40's and 50's for their February 23rd Concert. If anyone has any special interest of music or musical talent concerning music from that era and you would like to share it with our kids, please contact Mrs. Bennett.

Our Academic Team starts competition this week with a match at home against Lawson. There are only about 12 6th – 8th graders out this year. Mrs. Spurgeon and Mrs. Hieronymus coach our team.
Our next dance is February 5th from 7 – 10 p.m. This will be our Valentine’s Dance and we would like for the kids to dress up a bit. No Jeans, Shorts or T-shirts. If your child will have a problem with this dress code, please give Mr. Fine or Miss Jones a call ASAP so we can help you out.

Happy New Year to Everyone! We resolve to work with all of you to make 2010 a highly successful year for all of our students!
First semester grade cards will be sent home with the kids on January 7th. If you don’t get your students report, please let us know and we can send it or email it. It is exciting to be back at school and hear all about everyone’s Christmas break. Lots of new clothes and toys being displayed!
We are offering our spring “casual” pictures this Friday starting at 1:00. Any student that wants to can get his/her picture taken. You will then receive the “proofs” in a couple of weeks with the opportunity to purchase pictures if you’d like. Kids do not need to bring money at this time.
During January and February our students are able to participate in Science Olympiad and Academic Team. Both of these activities are in full swing. Students would still be able to be on the Academic Team if they’d like. The first contest for them is January 21.

We sure didn’t get much done last week with all of the snow days. We hope that this week we can to get back into our routines.
We did send grade cards home on Wednesday before we let out. If your child didn’t make it home with one please let us know and we’ll send you a new one.
Mrs. O’Connor did take time over the days off to run the new Renaissance Rewards Color Card Reports. We will be updating those on Monday. The new eligibility list will be out as well as notifying those ineligible students. (All with an F or poor citizenship).
