During the month of the December, the focus was on Respect for Others.  These students were nominated by their teachers by demonstrating this important value throughout the month. Respect for others can be seen in many ways - showing kindness, listening, including others, resolving conflicts peacefully, or treating peers and adults with consideration.  Congrats to these students!!

Hope Week is December 8th–12th

The LCWM Hope Squad is proud to sponsor Hope Week, a districtwide initiative focused on spreading kindness, reducing stigma, and reminding every student that they are seen, valued, and supported. Throughout the week, students will participate in themed dress-up days and activities that promote positive mental health, build community, and encourage meaningful conversations about hope.

Each activity is intentionally designed to help students connect, reduce stress, and recognize the power they have to support one another. Hope Squad members will also be leading awareness efforts and sharing resources to ensure every student knows where to turn when they need help.

Together, we’re creating a culture of compassion, connection, and hope.

Congratulations!!

Our 7th graders spent the day at the Youth Frontiers Courage Retreat, and they crushed it. Students pushed past fears, opened up in small groups about what courage really looks like, and wrapped up the day by committing to an act of courage that they’ll carry through the rest of the school year. We are proud of these kids for showing true Knight Pride today.

Secondary students gathered this morning for our Veterans Day assembly, which opened with the senior high choir singing the National Anthem. Students then heard from Bryce Stenzel, who has been reenacting President Abraham Lincoln for 35 years, sharing reflections on leadership and service. Following his address, the senior high band played the Armed Services Medley, and students who have family members who have served in one of the branches were invited to stand during their family member’s theme, creating a powerful moment of recognition. The assembly concluded with one of our students playing Taps in honor and remembrance of fallen soldiers.

We extend a sincere thank you to all who have served and continue to serve our country.
