This past Sunday and Monday 11 of our high school student council members and their advisors attended a leadership retreat at Cragun's resort in Brainerd. At this event they had the chance to network with other school leaders, get new ideas, and heard useful tips to help create a culture of community in our school. Two of our members also had the opportunity to promote our homecoming tailgate event during a segment called "Parade of Ideas" where schools could present one of the ideas from their school.

Our amazing Taher staff, Amber and Sharona, along with Chef Tony prepared a great Mongolian grill style meal before the school board study session last evening for our Board members. The spicy teriyaki sauce was served at the secondary for their Asian inspired meal this past Friday. Chef Tony visited to grill burgers (from local farm S & J Farms) and hot dogs this fall and has come twice to serve made-to-order omelettes at the secondary. Our Taher staff does their best to make sure our students are being served well balanced meals daily for breakfast and lunch.

Our first of three student council/school board breakfasts was this morning. Board members and students had great conversation recapping homecoming, daily schedules, chromebooks, livening up the secondary building, KASTL, and several other items. It was a great open conversation!

This morning, the secondary school conducted lockdown and hold drills with the help of Minnesota State Patrol, Blue Earth County Sheriff's Department, Lake Crystal Police Department, and Le Sueur County Sheriff's Department. We appreciate that a variety of our local law enforcement agencies are willing and able to do this with us. This not only helps our students become familiar with the process if there were a real intruder; it also helps law enforcement become familiar with our building and grounds.

"I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions." – Stephen R. Covey

This week, we had the privilege of celebrating one of our students who, despite facing difficult circumstances, made the powerful decision to KEEP GOING. Please join us in congratulating Nya on her graduation from LCWM!

Nya was a student in the LCWM Alternative Learning Program this past school year. Through perseverance, hard work, and the support of her teachers, she successfully completed her classes and earned her high school diploma. While her journey may not have followed the traditional path, her achievement is no less deserving. Nya made the decision to keep moving forward—and that deserves to be celebrated!
