Home of the Bobcats

LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families, 

Monday, November 18th will be a B Day.

Interim Reports Went Home on Friday
Interim reports went home with students on Friday, November 15th. Please take a moment to go over the report with your child and contact teachers if you have any questions or concerns. I recommend using the PowerSchool Parent Portal regularly to track your child's academic progress, including detailed grades, attendance, and tardies. Together, we can ensure your child's continued growth and success!

Parent Athlete Expectations Meeting: Thursday, November 21st
There will be a Winter Sports Parent Athlete Expectations Meeting in the LCMS forum at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 21st. All athletes and parents are expected to attend as important information, forms, and details will be given out by the athletic office, athletic trainers, and coaches. The meeting will consist of a session in the forum followed by breakout sessions for each team. Rivanna Gear & Apparel will be selling LCMS gear, made on the spot!

Attending After School Athletic Events
The winter sports season is underway! Our teams are poised to have a great 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 this season! 

Help Us “Stuff the Turkey”
Help support the Louisa Resource Council by bringing in non-perishable food! Items could include canned items, pasta, peanut butter, applesauce, fruit cups, beans, rice, granola bars, pop tarts, and fruit snacks. Food will be distributed to local families for the holiday season. Donations will be accepted through Friday, November 22nd. Help us stuff the turkey!

Bobcat Kindness Closet
I would like to highlight that there is a link on the LCMS Student Start Page for the Bobcat Kindness Closet. The Kindness Closet was created to help provide our Bobcat families with items to meet their basic needs. If a student could benefit from some of the items listed, please fill out the form indicating the items needed. We are happy to announce that clothes, including coats, are available, along with toiletries. We will gather the requested items and deliver them to students in a discreet manner. Students can also share their needs with their grade level school counselor. If you would like to donate items for the Kindness Closet, please contact our office or a school counselor. Some examples of items that are needed include girls' and boys' deodorant, feminine products, shampoo, toothpaste, floss, and body wash. Donations can be dropped off in the LCMS main office.

LCMS PTA Membership Drive
We encourage and welcome all parents, grandparents, school staff, and community supporters to join the LCMS PTA! Membership is only $5, and the funds will be used to support students and staff at LCMS. As an incentive to join by January 31st, the LCMS PTA is holding a schoolwide membership drive to win custom designed t-shirts! The class in each grade level with the highest percentage of memberships will win the custom t-shirts! Memberships can be purchased online or by returning the printable membership form.

Candy Cane Grams
The LCMS PTA is excited to offer Candy Cane Grams available for purchase by students, staff, and family members! Candy Cane Grams will help spread holiday cheer. Each Candy Cane Gram will include a special message from the sender attached to a candy cane, and they are only $1 each. They will be available for cash purchases during lunch shifts on December 3rd and December 5th, and can be purchased online. Sales will end on Friday, December 6th, so don’t miss out. Candy Cane Grams will be delivered to the 4th block classrooms on Friday, December 13th.

Looking Ahead
Wednesday through Friday, November 27th through 29th will be our fall break and there will be no school for students. Classes will resume on Monday, December 2nd.

As we enter the Thanksgiving season, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support. Your involvement makes a significant difference in our school community and in the lives of our students. Thank you for your partnership and trust. Together, we create a nurturing and enriching environment for our children to thrive!

If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please call our office at (540) 894-5457.
