Lightning Round: May 18 -22, 2020

Week 9 Assignments are available

Lakeside Lightning,

It's All About Respect at LMS!

We hope you have enjoyed the beautiful spring weather. We are seeing areas of our state open up and there is a lot of promise with the future! Be sure to continue to follow the guidelines set forth and be safe.

Our staff did an amazing job with locker and classroom clean out this week. We made a schedule that emphasized social distancing and safety. In just under 2 and 1/2 days, we cleaned out all 1100 lockers and organized them by homeroom as we prepare for distribution. As of now we do not have a date on the distribution of the materials (and Chromebook returns). It will most likely be sometime the week of June 8-12. Our teachers will be putting on the finishing touches to their rooms this week in preparation for the summer cleaning. All of the staff who have visited have expressed how much this was not how they wanted to end things. They miss the kids and hope we return to a regular schedule in the fall!

Step Up - June 15th at 6:00 PM - Tune into Quinn Broadcasting
To celebrate our 8th-grade students we will broadcast a pre-recorded Step-Up Ceremony Monday, June 15, 2020, at 6:00 PM through Quinn Broadcasting. There will be a live "pre" show in studio with Dr. Cook and Mrs. Gaunt with special awards and shout outs to our parents, students and staff. A request for video messages to help fill the void of physical congratulations and transitions will be shared with staff and students. Thank you for supporting the LMS 8th-grade Class of 2020.

Spring has finally arrived and some parks and outdoor activities are now starting to open. Fresh air and sunshine are vital to promote a healthy lifestyle. Did you know that we get 90% of our vitamin D from exposure to sunlight? Vitamin D helps us absorb calcium and is an essential vitamin. Check out this link to CDC’s guidelines for visiting parks and outdoor recreation and get out there and get some fresh air and have some fun.

Along with the warm weather comes tick season. Here is a link to CDC’s guidelines for tick prevention.
