Throughout the month of March, students worked hard to earn "pride points" by demonstrating respect, responsibility, and safety in their actions. The classes that earned the most pride points were rewarded with popcorn, with 6th grade and 11th grade taking the top spots! Mr. Thofson popped the popcorn, and to celebrate, a movie was played at lunch all week. Students had a great time enjoying the show and the tasty treat. It was a fun way to encourage positive behavior and reward hard work!

A message from our High School Student Council:
Parents!!! Has it been a while since you've had some time away from your kids? Need to go grocery shopping but can't find childcare for a night? Been some time since you've gone on a date?
Support the LCWM High School student council by utilizing our Childcare Fundraiser! Saturday, April 26, the LCWM student council will be providing childcare from 4:00 PM - 9:00 PM. The minimum age requirement is 2 years old. Families do NOT need to go to LCWM to attend, so maybe reach out to some friends for a child-free dinner! We have plenty of fun activities planned to keep your kids busy and entertained while you get some time to yourselves!
Click the following to sign up and for even more information, like contacts, an overview of the schedule, and pricing! Spots are limited, so don't wait to get signed up.

Your positive actions inspire all of us to create a more respectful and caring environment. Keep shining, students, and thank you for making a difference! 🌍💙

Our LCWM students recently had an exciting opportunity to visit several local places of employment, gaining valuable insights into various industries. After completing the "Hair Style Curriculum" provided by Educational Associates, Mrs. Theis' class visited Moxie Suites, Indulge, Ulta, Dasch Salon, and the Nova Academy School. These visits allowed students to learn about the history of these businesses, see how they operate, and experience hands-on activities. The students also had the chance to hear inspiring stories from professionals in the field. The curriculum and tours were coordinated by Kelsey Hutchinson at MVED. Additionally, Charlie, from Mr. Ouren's class, is gaining work experience through the Work-Based Learning program at Kevin’s Market, where he works a couple of days a week. A big thank you to all the businesses that supported our students and provided them with these valuable learning experiences!








The third and final student council / school board breakfast was this morning. There was great dialogue between our students and board members!


Yesterday, Mr. Bosma had students become renaissance characters - reformers - leaders - artists - writers - and then they had a speed mixer to meet and greet each other! Some student even dressed up as their character!









If you're needing supper ideas over the next couple of weeks, the Lakes has you covered!! The best part is you'll also be supporting some of the great activities and kids!



Today, the Lake Crystal team competed at the Fairmont Finale and had an awesome day! We had several finalists with two receiving NIETOC (National Individual Events Tournament of Champions) bids for a national tournament in May!

Mrs. Jones and Mr. Oldenburg's students gave outstanding performances on Tuesday evening at the 9th - 12th grade band and choir concert. Their hard work and dedication were evident as they delivered impressive and memorable pieces.

Shortly after Veteran's Day Mrs. Hockert's class wrote letters and shared artwork and treats with soldiers who are currently stationed in Jordan. Mrs. Hockert, Megan Hutchens, Laurie Nelson, and of course the kiddos in her class worked hard to make this happen.
Earlier this week we got a letter and a package from those soldiers with their unit patches for each kid and a very kind letter to the school.
A special shout-out and thank you to the Krosch family for helping Mrs. Hockert's class make this connection between the soldiers and the students!
