LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families,

After School Dance on Friday, October 4th!
We will have an after school dance this Friday, October 4th until 5:30 for our Bobcats in grades 6, 7, and 8. Permission forms (linked here) must be turned in by Thursday, October 3rd 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!) Enter the campus using the Bus Garage entrance and proceed to door #2 (the 7th grade entrance) to pick up your child.

We are excited to have some social time with our Bobcats, followed by cheering on our Lions in the Jungle!

Picture Day Orders and Makeups
Fall pictures are included in our annual yearbook, so students who did not have their picture taken on the original picture day are encouraged to participate in the makeup picture day, which will be on Tuesday, October 22nd. There will also be an opportunity for those who ordered pictures to have their picture retaken on that day.

Socktober
Socktober has arrived! Students can donate socks, winter hats, scarves, sweatshirts, jackets, and anything else to help stay warm this winter! Even a small act of love, such as donating a pair of socks, can make a big difference in the lives of our neighbors. Grade level bins are set up in the cafeteria for students to place their donations and participate in the grade level competition! Remember, all items must be new. Donations will be accepted through Friday, October 25th.

School-Wide Costume Theme: Mickey and Minnie!
For Thursday, October 31st, students and staff are invited to unite in a school-wide theme in the spirit of fun -- Mickey and Minnie! Whether Bobcats want to dress up as the iconic duo or simply wear red and black, we can't wait to see some Disney magic in our school through these classic characters!
*If they choose, students may each receive a Mickey/Minnie headband, which they will receive in homeroom class on Wednesday, October 30th.
(Students may dress up on Thursday, October 31st, as long as dress code guidelines are followed and there are no Halloween masks.)
