Hunter Nelson (on the left), 5th grade, made this painting in Art class, and it now hangs in the newly established LCWM Art Gallery at the elementary school. Student art will be added every year, and it will hang there until they graduate. Hunter’s very patriotic painting will be the very first to be chosen, framed, and hung by the front doors of the school. Hunter's artwork can be seen during school hours where you can appreciate all of the talents that went into his painting. Hunter painted it in honor of his great grandfather who was in the Korean War.
Cole Thompson (on the right), 5th grade, also made this drawing/painting in Art class, and it will be displayed at the Lake Crystal American Legion. Cole's pencil drawing of a bald eagle and a red, white, and blue American flag, honors his grandpa who was in the Navy. We hope that you will go to the Legion and enjoy this artwork knowing that it is a special symbol that we all honor our veterans who served our country.

I have been working with Palmer Bus Service to fix the issue of changing times and continuous movement of students. We have a shortage of bus drivers. Based on the shortage and number of seats available on the buses we have made some changes to reduce down by one route. Bus 22 will no longer be a run and the students have been moved to other buses. Your child will be notified this afternoon of the permanent change. Both school offices have the changes and are notifying the students right now. These changes will impact some pickup and drop-off times which we will be redoing over the next two days. By the end of the week, a complete new pickup and drop-off schedule will be sent to everyone. I appreciate your patience as we work through the driver shortage and making sure we are safe on the bus. I am also working with Palmer to supply the App that allows you to see the bus GPS location to be able to find out where it is at all times.
Mrs. Helget's class joined on a Zoom call today with MN Vikings player, Harrison Phillips. He read a book about a cow farm to celebrate Farm and Food Book Week supporting MN agriculture in the classroom. He read the story and then answered a lot of questions about his childhood and career.

This week is National School Counselor Week: February 6-10, 2023! We want to publicly acknowledge and say THANK YOU to our counselors (and social workers) for the work they do EVERY DAY at LCWM! There's not a day that goes by where students aren't in their offices talking about hard stuff in life, future planning, or just having normal relationship building conversations. Our counselors have a tremendous impact in helping our students achieve school success, process through life's moments, and plan for a career.
THANK YOU LCWM school counselors for all you do!!

Miss Johnson's 5th Grade class has been busy! Last week they made lego bridges then tested their architecture. Today they had their first mystery skype of the year! They asked yes or no Geography based questions to figure out the location of the other class. They learned the class they were skyping was from Missouri. Both schools shared facts about their state.
