LCMS Bobcat Parents and Families,
Monday, March 2nd will be an A day.
Green Valley Book Fair Coming to LCMS March 2nd-6th
The LCMS Library will be hosting the Green Valley Book Fair from Monday, March 2nd to Friday, March 6th. Students will be able to visit the fair with their Social Studies teachers on their scheduled day. The fair will also be open in the mornings at 7:45 and during lunch for students who have money to make a purchase. We hope Bobcats pick up some amazing new books at incredibly discounted prices!
Pot of Gold Dance: Friday, March 6th
We will have a Pot of Gold Dance on Friday, March 6th after school until 5:30. Permission forms will be provided for students in the cafeteria on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and must be turned in by Thursday, March 5th by 1:20 (end of lunch shifts).
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 Road entrance and proceed to door #2 (the 7th grade entrance) to pick up your child.
Pizza, soda, water, chips, and candy will be available for purchase. All school rules apply at the dance. Students are expected to dance appropriately and dress according to the dress code. Cell phones must remain in backpacks and not be used during the dance. Our Bobcats have had an outstanding time at our dances so far this year, so we are looking forward to another dance!
Family Life Education Letters
Family Life Education letters have been given to students in Health/PE classes. The forms should be returned to Health/PE teachers. Family Life lessons will begin the week of March 17th. If you have any questions, please contact your child's Health/PE teacher.
LCMS Yearbook
Be sure to order your LCMS yearbook for $45 (price valid until April 30th). Students can take cash or a check payable to Louisa County Middle School to Ms. Ventre in room 901, or you can order online. Students can celebrate their journey, friends, and achievements in this incredible year, forever captured in our LCMS yearbook!
American Heart Challenge
We are in the final week of the annual American Heart Challenge, and our students have done an amazing job learning how to keep their hearts and minds healthy! We are still collecting donations and working to get every family to learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR. If you haven’t already, please join our team and complete Finn’s Mission today so you can learn how to save a life! Your student will also earn their cool Super Heart Hero Socks when they complete it!

Looking Ahead:
The "spring forward" shift is just around the corner, and we are looking forward to longer days and a bit more sunshine! Please remember to set your clocks one hour ahead on Sunday, March 8th. To help your child’s internal clock adjust, try shifting their bedtime 10–15 minutes earlier each night leading up to the change.
Future Dances
On Friday, March 27th, we will have a dance from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. for rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students as a way of welcoming our future Bobcats!
The 8th Grade Formal will take place for 8th grade Bobcats on Saturday, May 2nd from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. The theme (selected by votes from 8th grade students) is “Neon Glow!”
These are all great opportunities for middle school memories to be made!
