7th Grade Message For End of Year:
Team 7 teachers would like to make you all aware of a few things as we finish out our school year. First, we are planning a couple of times for students to drive through the school parking lot to say goodbye. Teachers will be spaced out holding signs and such from 6-6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, June 10th and 12-12:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 11th. We ask, for safety reasons, that students do not ride through on bikes at these times.
We are also going to be working to set up times next week to meet individually with students to work with each of them on a self-reflection about their experience of remote learning. If you would like to give your perspective as a parent at that time, it would be most welcome. Mrs. Tuttle will be having an assignment, which is related to the self-reflection, on next week’s activity board. It would be helpful if students could complete this on Monday-June 1st, and certainly before the week is up.
You will notice that next week’s activity board will be streamlined and include many chances for students to engage in learning activities, but fewer assignments that are required to be turned in. The final week will involve many chances to engage with their teachers, including a series of fun KaHoot quizzes with Mr. Schlaefer, Scattegory games, Flip Grid videos, and more!
Finally, our R.S.U. 34 Technology Department will be available to receive student computers between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, June 12th and June 15th-19th. We will have more information soon on how to most easily coordinate with those folks on the return. We really hope that you are safe and well. Please contact any of us with any questions that you may have in these final weeks.
Regards,
Team 7

LMS WILL be creating and selling a yearbook this year. Mr. Kirkland will be heading up the creation of it, with help from Ms. Henry. In order to make this a success, we will need help from students and families to fill in pictures, art work, and written pieces to represent remote learning and experiences. More information will be coming soon on submitting work and purchasing the yearbook.

BOKS (Building Our Kids Success) is a before-school physical activity program that started earlier this year at LMS. The goal of the program is to get students active before school so that when they are in school they are focused and ready to learn. Starting on Monday (April 20) we will be posting BOKS Workout Challenge of the day every Monday, Wednesday and Friday morning. They will be quick, easy and a fun way to get a quick workout in at home! Thank you to Sam Lenson, our BOKS Coordinator, for providing this opportunity.
