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.

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.

Staff members from both buildings practiced the district's reunification plans in case of an emergency causing student evacuation this morning. The trainings were structured similarly to the "I Love You Guys" training method some staff learned last August. As with any training, there were some questions, some things that went well, and some hiccups, but most importantly, a lot of learning.
Reunification can be used for a variety of circumstances like a water main break, gas leak, or even in a snowstorm where buses can't deliver students home requiring them to be brought back to school-so it's important to practice.
We want to thank Blue Earth County Sheriff's Department and Lake Crystal Police Department for their assistance in the drills today and especially our amazing staff for practicing and sharing input for the process!
