The Student Leadership Team and PE department have organized a variety of activities this week to support the American Heart Association. We kick off on Monday with penny wars. Penny wars is a competition between each grade and teachers. Each grade level and staff have a bucket. Adding pennies to your bucket increases your group’s total value. However, you may also sabotage other groups by adding larger currencies (nickels, dimes, quarters, and dollar bills) to subtract points from their total. The winning grade level will receive a prize at lunch. You can also donate by bringing a dollar to wear a hat on Tuesday. On Wednesday if you donate any money towards penny wars, you will receive a Hershey's kiss.
We are continuing the scheduling process for the coming school year. There is an informational night for rising freshmen at Laramie High School Monday at 6:30. All current 8th graders and their families should attend to learn about the scheduling process and course options for next year. The meeting will be held in the LHS theater. Rising freshmen should turn in their course selection sheets to the LMS main office by the end of the week.
Rising 7th and 8th graders will be making their elective selections in S4S on Tuesday. Students should have brought home a list of electives last week to review with their families. Detailed course descriptions can be found in the 24- 25 draft curriculum guide posted on our website. We make every effort to place students in their desired courses, however this is not always possible. The best way for students to get the classes they want is to complete the course selection form and choose alternatives in case they are not able to get their first choices.
Valentine’s Day falls on a school day this year. While we are always spreading love and happiness at LMS, please remember that students are not to receive deliveries during the school day. It is disruptive and there isn’t room in classrooms, lockers, or on buses for delivered items. Anything that is delivered will be held in the attendance office until the end of the school day. We will make our best effort to inform students of any deliveries, but we can’t guarantee they will be received. Please save all of your special gifts for home. Make it a great week!
