Annual senior sunset!
4th, 5th, and 6th Grade Track & Field Day was a success! Great job, everyone, and thanks to the high school Track & Field athletes for helping out!
The Knights won the first game of playoffs last evening against TCU! They are back in action on Saturday at Caswell Park, taking on LSH at 2 pm!
The golf conference meet was yesterday at Madelia. The HS boys golf team won the conference (back-to-back champions) with several players on our team receiving honors.
Today, FFA students from the secondary school set up a petting zoo for elementary students. Students enjoyed seeing and petting the animals and learning a little about farm life.
Mitchel, senior at LCWM, competed at the Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair, known as ISEF during the week of May 11-17. Regeneron ISEF is the world's largest pre-college science fair with nearly 2000 students from 49 states and nearly 70 countries, regions, and territories around the world. Mitchel won the trip with his project on Tesla Turbines in February at the Southern Regional Science Fair held at Minnesota State University, Mankato. This was Mitchel's second time earning a trip to Regeneron ISEF, his previous trip was held virtually in 2021. Aidan, sophomore at LCWM, was chosen as the first alternate at the February fair and got to attend ISEF as a student observer. In addition to sponsoring the competition, Regeneron rented Universal Studios Hollywood from 6 pm to Midnight on Wednesday, May 15 for all attendees. Kelly Moeller, science fair advisor, chaperoned the trip. James Thorne (not pictured), Southern Regional Science Fair director, also attended with the group.

Aidan and Mitchel, along with Mrs. Moeller, took off for Los Angeles early Sunday morning! Today they were able to participate in a Question and Answer session with ISEF alum, Astronaut Dr. Epps, LIVE from the International Space Station! It's been a great experience so far!
It's that time of the year!! Fifth graders came over for a tour this afternoon to meet their teachers, tried out some locker combinations, and toured the building!
Master magician David Hagerman performed his science-based magical wizardry on this afternoon at the elementary! Huge thank you to the LCWM PTO for sponsoring this great show for our kiddos!!
Hagerman travels the US inspiring children to pursue futures with math and science through his edutainment magic show. His science and math-based shows make kids hungry for knowledge in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) fields.
“Technically, I’m a real modern-day wizard, using science and math to achieve illusions,” said Hagerman. “Through my spectacle and performance, my real goal is to wow and inspire kids to consider science and mathematics as a future. It can be hard to get kids excited about STEM fields today and considering that science and technology are our future right now, through wizardry, I am happy to show them the awe and wonder behind the science and math.”
Performing a full-fledged math show that incorporates magical elements, Hagerman demonstrates visual science that stands on its own without the help and support of magic. Cognizant of the fact that children’s attention is sparing and fleeting, Hagerman delves into the importance of entertainment for really piquing children’s interest.
“My show is designed to be one of the most entertaining live performances that students will ever see related to science and math,” said Hagerman. “By the end of the act, students will not even realize they have learned a considerable amount during their entertainment enjoyment. I look forward to sharing my performance art with the students at Lake Crystal Wellcome Memorial District this month.”
Similar shows to Hagerman’s have demonstrated a 33% increase in test scores for the children attending the spectacle. (Science in the Movies). Known as the world’s most secretive magician, Hagerman works hard to protect magic’s secrets as the rise of smart devices and Internet tears down the mysticism behind the performance.
