LCWM students exercised their civic duty in a mock election, gaining hands-on experience with the voting process today!
Secondary students were able to go to the media center this morning or to the stage at lunchtime, initial next to their names on the "registered voter" papers, receive a ballot to cast at the ballot stations, and place their ballots in the ballot box. They also received an "I've Voted" sticker.
High schools across the state are also voting and reporting the results at this website, sponsored by the Secretary of State. LCWM votes will be tallied after school and reported by tomorrow! https://lookerstudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/7d9aebc9-04c9-445e-ba8a-f3ed42863d65/page/6bJWB
The fourth and fifth graders at the elementary school also voted for their favorite candidate today. They have been learning about elections, the Electoral College, and the branches of government. They will continue with the Constitution and the amendments to finish out their study of American Government.

It has been a busy month in the choir room! On Monday night, the Junior High Choir and Concert Choir put on an outstanding fall concert. In addition, several Concert Choir members participated in honor choirs at Bethany Lutheran College and MSU Mankato.



The first of three school board/student council breakfasts was held this morning. Student council members shared updates on activities, thoughts on start times and lunch, and ideas to "spruce up" the walls in the building! It was a great conversation between student council members, the school board and Superintendent Benson.

LCWM is in need of additional substitute teachers for both Elementary and Secondary positions!
