The Knight Climbers showed up in style for Climb2Feed Kids, an incredible fundraiser put on by Feeding Our Communities Partners, that directly impacts so many of our students. Thanks to your generosity, we raised over $1,200 to support local Backpack and Powerpack Food Programs!

Not only that… we showed some speed too, finishing with the 9th fastest relay time!

Thank you to everyone who donated and supported this cause. We’re already looking forward to next year!

Did you know the state of MN provides $120 per student over the summer for qualified families? Here is a link to this website for additional information. https://education.mn.gov/MDE/dse/FNS/SNP/free/fill/

The Application for Educational Benefits does more than connect eligible families to important supports — it also helps schools access critical funding for programs and student services. Even now that school meals are provided at no cost, a drop in applications can reduce resources for your school community.

This afternoon, Mrs. Bergstad’s science class learned from MnDOT about bridge types, strengths, repairs, and design. They showed the students the work they did on Highway 60 and the effort it took to remove the old Rapidan Bridge after the flood. The students built bridge models, worked as a team, followed instructions, and experienced a little trial and error—but gained many learning opportunities along the way.

Thank you, MnDOT, for coming in and educating our students!

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!!
