For the month of April, our PBIS theme has been Responsibility in Relationships. We want to focus on helping students understand the importance of being accountable for how they treat others. Responsibility in relationships means being honest, respectful, and supportive, as well as recognizing the impact their words and actions have on their peers, teachers, and family members.

Teachers encouraged students to take ownership of their role in building healthy, positive relationships. Whether it's resolving conflicts, being a good listener, or showing kindness, their efforts can strengthen the bonds they share with others.

Congratulations to these students of the month for April! Not pictured: Riddick.

Congratulations to our March students of the month! These students were nominated by their teachers for displaying 'respect for community'.

The March PBIS theme was Respect for Community. Staff encouraged students to understand the importance of contributing to and caring for the community around them—whether it’s their classroom, school, or neighborhood. Respect for community means taking pride in shared spaces, supporting others, and understanding how individual actions can positively or negatively affect the larger group.

As we focused on this theme, staff inspired students to engage in activities that strengthened our community, such as keeping common areas clean, being kind and inclusive, and showing support for school events and initiatives.

Congratulations to these students!

Good luck to our two teams who are competing at state FFA today! In Nursery and Landscape we have Grace, Sydney, Chase and Wyatt and in Best Informed Greenhand we have Carter and Riddick.

Good luck to both teams!!

LCWM junior Levi Freyberg broke the school record in the pole vault soaring 14’6”, surpassing the record of 14’4” set by Logan Stock in 2017. Stock went on to compete collegiately for the Washburn Ichabods, a Division II school in Topeka, Kansas. Stock placed 7th in the Decathlon at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships earning All- American Honors in 2021. Stock is currently listed on several top ten lists at Washburn, including 7th in the 110 HH, 15.06; 6th in the HJ, 6’8”; 8th in the LJ, 23’5.5”; 6th in javelin 170’2”; and Stock is the School Record Holder for the Ichabods in the Decathlon, scoring 7085 pts. Freyberg has also competed in Sprints, LJ, TJ, HJ, Discus and Hurdles for the Knights. With nearly two full seasons still ahead, it will be fun to see what height Freyberg can take the pole vault record to.

We are excited to announce "Knights Give Back" day: an opportunity for our students to give back to our local communities as a way to say THANK YOU for supporting us! Our communities have "shown up" for our students in so many ways through attending events, donating supplies, career shadowing opportunities and monetary donations and now we are setting aside time for our students to "show up" for you.

The school board met with middle and high school student council members this morning for their final meeting of the year. Student council members presented ideas, concerns and solutions on several different topics including KASTL time, school culture, hygiene supplies, and general maintenance. They offered suggestions and proposals for new ideas to items they brought up to the school board. It was another great time for the board to collaborate with the students.

This morning high school student council hosted a mental health day during the regularly scheduled KASTL time for 9-12th grade students. Students could choose from activities like a movie, meditation activity, open play in the gym, homework help, or pond laps.

Mr. Colvin's Ag 8 class learned about the ingredients and what each of the ingredients do in a pancake. Today they finished their lesson with creating their own batter and making pancakes of their own. Blueberries, chocolate chips, raspberries and even bacon were some of the added ingredients.
