The kindergarteners enjoyed some "nursery ryhme olympics" this morning after completing their first reading unit! In these photos the kids are watching a real, live 'tortoise' and the hare race! We weren't too surprised when Margaret, the rabbit, won all three races.

LCWM Elementary School’s PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention Support) Team received a $2500 grant from The Mankato Clinic Foundation. This wonderful grant makes it possible for us to provide incentives for individual students modeling Noble Knight behavior and for school-wide fun days, assemblies, prizes, and so much more. We are very appreciative of the Mankato Clinic Foundation’s continued support for our school!
