One of our greatest hopes is that our kids will be kind to others. But let's face it. It's not always easy. The good news is that kindness is a behavior that can be learned. Most children learn new behaviors by copying those around them; we have a powerful opportunity and responsibility to teach kindness by example. We have a variety of activities in S4S and across our school that teach and encourage kindness. Please read about how you can encourage kindness at home and more in this month's CKH newsletter.
There is an informational meeting for all rising freshmen and their families in the LHS theater at 6:00 pm on Tuesday. All current 8th graders and their families are encouraged to attend. Students will be making their course selections on Wednesday during S4S with help from LHS counselor Mrs. Dale, our counseling staff, and their S4S teachers. If you have any questions regarding scheduling, you can contact the LHS counseling department at 307-721-4488 or lhscounselors@acsd1.org.
Students planning to play football at LHS next year as Freshman should also plan on attending an informational meeting after school on Thursday in the cafeteria. The LHS coaching staff will be there to discuss what to expect as a Freshman, offseason workouts, summer camps, sportsyou, and the upcoming fall season. All 8th graders interested in football next year should attend.
Drs. Cynthia Hartung (Psychology) and Derek Smith (Kinesiology & Health) at UW are conducting a research study looking at the benefits of exercise on performance and mood in middle school students. Students will attend three 1-hour sessions at LMS or UW. During one of the sessions, they will use an exercise bike for 16 minutes. They will also complete some verbal and computer tasks. Parents will complete some online questionnaires at various points throughout the study (total time is less than 1 hour). Drs. Hartung and Smith would like to invite you and your child to participate in their study. If you participate, your child will receive a $30 gift card and you will receive a $25 gift card. If interested, please contact Tamara Abu-Ramadan at uwyoall@gmail.com or call 307-316-4783.
Even though it's a short week, it's action packed. Our students and staff are working so hard to gain all of the essential skills necessary to be successful this year and beyond. Please take the time to fill out the school climate and culture survey that was sent out last week. We appreciate your continued feedback and support.
