The sun was shining bright this morning, but still a little chilly, for our annual walk/roll to school day. Huge thank you to Officer Gangelhoff with the Lake Crystal Police Department for helping us cross Main Street safely all morning and the Blue Earth County Sheriff's Department for being present throughout town!
This morning, the secondary school conducted lockdown and hold drills with the help of Minnesota State Patrol, Blue Earth County Sheriff's Department, Lake Crystal Police Department, and Le Sueur County Sheriff's Department. We appreciate that a variety of our local law enforcement agencies are willing and able to do this with us. This not only helps our students become familiar with the process if there were a real intruder; it also helps law enforcement become familiar with our building and grounds.
Wednesday, October 8 is national walk/roll to school day! The buses and students can be dropped off at the recenter as early as 7:30! Students, teachers, and family members will be walking from the Rec to the elementary so please drive carefully as there will be a lot of people walking and riding bikes!
It's That Time of Year Again! 🍽️

This week, we had the privilege of celebrating one of our students who, despite facing difficult circumstances, made the powerful decision to KEEP GOING. Please join us in congratulating Nya on her graduation from LCWM!
Nya was a student in the LCWM Alternative Learning Program this past school year. Through perseverance, hard work, and the support of her teachers, she successfully completed her classes and earned her high school diploma. While her journey may not have followed the traditional path, her achievement is no less deserving. Nya made the decision to keep moving forward—and that deserves to be celebrated!

Mr. Thofson announced that Tyler Seppmann has been named a Commended Student in the 2026 National Merit Scholarship Program. A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, was presented by Mr. Thofson to this scholastically talented senior.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise.
