LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families,
Monday, September 9th will be a B Day. Picture day at LCMS will be on Tuesday, September 10th!
September 11th is recognized each year as Patriot Day. On Wednesday, Bobcat students and staff will wear red, white, and blue on this designated day for reflection and commemoration.
Friday, September 13th is a TeamLCPS Green and Gold Day, so we are excited to show our school spirit by wearing green and gold!
Submit a Positive Message for Our Bobcats!
We had a phenomenal time at our LCMS Kindness Kickoff on Friday! Ask your child about the message shared by our special guest speaker, Doug Reavis, of the YouUplift platform! We also enjoyed our first Olweus lesson (Bobcat Pride Time) of the year, and we loved the energetic Team Time with our grade levels! Kindness and respect are the foundation of everything we do at LCMS!
Visit our LCMS website to submit anonymous positive and encouraging messages to our Bobcats on our YouUplift Kindness eWall! We have continuously remained #1 in the Nation on the YouUplift Leaderboard for the most messages submitted. Let’s keep it up!
Sign Up for Asynchronous Learning Day Activities by September 11th:
Wednesday, September 18th will be an Asynchronous Learning Day, and Bobcat students and staff will be participating in community service activities as a way to give back to our supportive community! We will be volunteering at the Louisa County Resource Council, Louisa County Parks, Recreation, and Tourism, and the Louisa Animal Shelter. Please complete the permission form and return it to the LCMS main office by Wednesday, September 11th for your child to participate. (Please note that the volunteer opportunity at the Louisa Animal Shelter has been filled at this time.) This is an excellent opportunity for students to be involved in a service project that benefits our community, and I hope you will consider having your child participate!
After School Dance on Friday!
We will have our first after school dance of the school year this Friday, September 13th until 5:30 for our Bobcats in grades 6, 7, and 8. Permission forms must be turned in by Thursday, September 12th at 1:20. Registrations will not be accepted on the day of the dance. The $10 fee will include admission to the dance and one student admission to the LCHS Varsity home football game in the Jungle!
Parents/guardians will pick up students from the dance *beginning* at 5:30. (Early pickups are difficult because students are still dancing!) We are excited to have some social time with our Bobcats, followed by cheering on our Lions in the Jungle!
Interim Reports
Interim reports will come home with students on Friday, September 13th. Please review the report with your child and contact teachers with any questions or concerns. I also encourage you to frequently monitor your child’s academic progress by using the online PowerSchool Parent Portal where you are able to see the detailed grade book for each class, as well as attendance and tardy information. Working together, we can ensure your child’s growth and success!
LCMS PTA Membership
We are excited to announce the LCMS PTA is being rejuvenated! The LCMS PTA is now accepting charter members for the reestablished PTA. Join now at a discounted rate of $3.75 per person to include membership in the LCMS PTA, the Virginia PTA, and the National PTA! The rate goes up to $10 per person on October 3rd.
