Attending After School Athletic Events
The winter sports season is underway, including wrestling and boys basketball. Both teams are off to a great start to the season! Be reminded that on days when we have home athletics events, students need to leave school as usual and return to school with an adult to attend the event. Students are not able to stay on the school campus without prearranged staff supervision. Also, students may not go to the Louisa County library and then return for an event; the library does not have structures in place to supervise our young Bobcat spectators. We look forward to cheering on our athletes for the rest of the season!
LCMS Little Library
Did you know that LCMS has a Little Library in front of the school? The Little Library is a free book exchange. If you see something you would like to read, take it! When you’re finished, share it with a friend, bring it back here, or leave it in another Little Library. You may also donate books to our Little Library! Happy reading, Bobcat community!
If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please call our office at (540) 894-5457.
