During the Courage Retreat that was held on Tuesday, 7th grade students from LCWM, St. James and Truman were inspired and empowered to act with courage and make positive choices. Through interactive activities, courageous discussions, and engaging stories, students learned to identify peer pressures, overcome fears, and stand up for their beliefs. There were also brave students from LCWM who shared what their act of courage will be in front of the entire group of 200 students.
Students in Ms. Missling's class were able to experience a bit of real life this morning thanks to the SouthPoint Federal Credit Union's Budget City simulation. Students visited a variety of vendors selling homes, childcare, vehicles, food, clothes and "fun stuff". After purchasing their items, they had to visit with the credit union to finalize their budgets and see how much money was left at the end of the month. It was a great learning experience for everyone! Also, a special thanks to the local volunteers who came to sell items including LCWM alumni, Sydney!

In addition, four LCWM students were selected to participate in the Bethany Lutheran College Honor Band. Under the direction of Mr. Benjamin Faugstad, the Director of Bethany Lutheran Bands, the students rehearsed throughout the day and concluded their experience with a concert at 5:30 p.m. in the Bethany Chapel.
All students were chosen for these opportunities through director nominations and are taught by Malia Jones, the LCWM Director of Bands. Their participation in these events highlights the students’ talent, commitment, and the strong music program at LCWM.
