LCMS Principal Weekly Update for Oct. 22, 2023
LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families,
Monday, October 23rd will be a B Day.
This week, we will be hosting an Honor Their Courage Coins For Kindness drive! We will need your help to collect coins to support our veterans! 100% of the funds we collect will go to support the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit charity that supports veterans who were wounded physically or mentally in the line of duty. This is an incredibly important cause as we support the men and women of our military who protect this country. Thanks for being a part of Operation Kindness, and remember that it’s cool to be kind!
Don't forget to order this year's school pictures! Enjoy 10% off your order with the code F202310OFF. Visit the Lifetouch website to redeem the coupon!
Fall pictures are included in our annual yearbook, so students who did not have their picture taken are encouraged to participate in the makeup picture day, which will be on Wednesday, October 25th. There will also be an opportunity for those who ordered pictures to have their picture retaken on that day. The picture order or proof must be brought back on retake day for a student to have a retake.
Halloween-themed Smencils will be available for purchase during lunch Wednesday through Friday this week for $2 each while supplies last! Each Smencil comes packaged in its own freshness tube to keep its scent strong.
Would you like a glimpse into your child’s school day? Would you like to see firsthand what they have been working on so far this school year? Would you like to see their writings, creations, and evidence of their learning and progress?
Families are invited to visit LCMS this Friday, October 27th for our LCMS Student Showcase from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. prior to the LCHS Varsity football game against Albemarle in the Jungle, which kicks off at 7:30. Families can enjoy dinner at the tailgate in front of the middle school from 5:30 to 6:30. Students will be showcasing their learning, progress, creativity, and successes so far this school year. Families are invited to visit each of their child’s classrooms and teachers, as well as other areas in our school, such as our library, and students who have their Showcase Card signed by at least four of their teachers will receive a student ticket to the football game! There will also be a fun Goosechase around the school, an activity in the Creation Station, a game in the gym, and with those activities -- chances to earn GREAT PRIZES! We hope to see you at LCMS on Friday, October 27th from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. for the Student Showcase!
For Tuesday, October 31st, students and staff are invited to unite in a school-wide theme in the spirit of fun -- 1,001 Dalmatians: Spots Rule the School! Bobcats can wear white clothing adorned with black spots and let their creativity shine as they bring their favorite puppy characters to life! Each puppy can have its own unique personality, just like in the book and movie.
*If they choose, students may each receive a dalmatian headband, which they will receive in homeroom class on Monday, October 30th.
(Students may dress up on Tuesday, October 31st, as long as dress code guidelines are followed and there are no Halloween masks.)
Let’s keep the good times rolling! If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please call our office at (540) 894-5457.
