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.
LCWM Nicollet junior Charlie Gengler competed in the Class A State Cross Country meet held Saturday at the University of Minnesota Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights. Gengler ran a time of 18:10.8 for the 5000 meter course. This was Gengler's second state cross country meet as he also competed in the 2022 championship race! Congrats Charlie!!
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!
Did you know??
A short-call substitute teaching license is available to individuals who hold either a bachelor's degree or are enrolled in a teacher preparation program and have completed student teaching. The short-call substitute teaching license is valid for three years.
Applicants that hold a bachelor's degree and have previously never held licensure with PELSB should apply for their short-call substitute teaching license using the Online Licensing System.

Congratulations to our October students of the month! This month, our focus was on Responsibility in Learning and teachers nominated students who took ownership of their education by being organized, completed tasks on time, asked thoughtful questions, and showed dedication to their academic growth.
Today, the first graders had a great experience as they visited the fire department! After learning about fire safety and seeing the fire trucks up close, the highlight of the day was their special ride back to school—on top of the fire trucks! Thank you to the Lake Crystal Fire Department for such a great afternoon!
