🌟 March Students of the Month 🌟
We are excited to recognize our outstanding students who have exemplified this month's theme of Respect for Community. These students have gone above and beyond in showing kindness, support, and responsibility to those around them—whether it's their peers, teachers, or the greater community. March's Students of the Month are: Natalie, Cora, Harper, Alice, Maya, Samuel, and Mason (not pictured).
Your positive actions inspire all of us to create a more respectful and caring environment. Keep shining, students, and thank you for making a difference! 🌍💙

Our LCWM students recently had an exciting opportunity to visit several local places of employment, gaining valuable insights into various industries. After completing the "Hair Style Curriculum" provided by Educational Associates, Mrs. Theis' class visited Moxie Suites, Indulge, Ulta, Dasch Salon, and the Nova Academy School. These visits allowed students to learn about the history of these businesses, see how they operate, and experience hands-on activities. The students also had the chance to hear inspiring stories from professionals in the field. The curriculum and tours were coordinated by Kelsey Hutchinson at MVED. Additionally, Charlie, from Mr. Ouren's class, is gaining work experience through the Work-Based Learning program at Kevin’s Market, where he works a couple of days a week. A big thank you to all the businesses that supported our students and provided them with these valuable learning experiences!








The third and final student council / school board breakfast was this morning. There was great dialogue between our students and board members!


Yesterday, Mr. Bosma had students become renaissance characters - reformers - leaders - artists - writers - and then they had a speed mixer to meet and greet each other! Some student even dressed up as their character!









If you're needing supper ideas over the next couple of weeks, the Lakes has you covered!! The best part is you'll also be supporting some of the great activities and kids!
