There were lots of smiles this morning at the elementary as the kids came from the drop off lane, the bus lane, and all corners of our communities! We are thrilled to welcome back our students and are looking forward to a "sweet" year!

It seems like last week we were telling all of these students to have a great summer but here we are-back for the first day! We are excited that the construction is behind us, thankful for the buzz in the building again, and are looking forward to a great 2025-2026 school year!! Thanks to the High School Student Council for welcoming everyone back with bubbles and treats!

The staff had a great couple of days this week as they prepared for the new school year! On Wednesday, everyone came together for the all-staff breakfast and enjoyed hearing from guest speaker Eddie Cortes, who brought a ton of energy and inspiration! It's been a productive week getting classrooms, lessons, and spaces ready to welcome our students back next week! See you soon!!

The annual secondary open house will be Wednesday, August 27 from 3:30-5:30 pm. We invite all parents and families to our High School Open House before the school year begins! This is a great opportunity to meet your child's teachers, find their lockers, bring in any supplies if needed, and get familiar with the software programs we use in class. You’ll also have a chance to explore the building and ask any questions you may have to ensure a smooth start to the year.

Over the last two days, LCWM staff members attended the "I Love U Guys" safety training with other school districts in Blue Earth and Nicollet counties. It was an excellent two day session where staff gained the knowledge and confidence they need to enhance school safety and preparedness. This immersive training covered the history, concepts and functionality of the Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and the Standard Reunification Method. Thank you to Blue Earth County for providing this opportunity to our staff!

We have moved from demolition to full reconstruction on our referendum projects happening this summer! Jackson and Associates continue to put in the work, even on the hottest summer days, on the roof and the panel installation at the elementary; Nielsen Blacktopping has been ready to put the first layer of asphalt down (a couple times now thanks to the rains we've had) with hopes of laying asphalt this week; and the track and football field are getting closer to completion, too!

As we enter this final stretch, we ask everyone to continue avoiding the parking lots and driveways at both buildings. Driving on these surfaces can create extra work for our construction crews. We truly appreciate your ongoing patience and cooperation as we bring these exciting upgrades to the finish line!

Out with the old and in with the new! Gag's Sheet Metal has been hard at work in the boiler room—despite the heat and no AC—removing the original boilers from when the building was built in 2006 and installing brand-new ones. This much-needed upgrade is part of the referendum that passed last November, made possible thanks to the support of our District members. Your investment is helping keep our buildings running strong for years to come!
