Today LMS 8th grade students attended Pathways 2 Possibilities (P2P), an exciting, hands-on career exploration event designed especially for 8th graders. At P2P, students got the opportunity to:
🔹 Explore a wide variety of career pathways
🔹 Participate in interactive, hands-on activities
🔹 Talk directly with professionals from different industries
🔹 Learn how interests connect to future careers, education, and training
This experience helps students begin thinking about high school pathways and future goals in a fun and engaging way.

A Penny War has been declared to begin at LMS on Monday, January 12 and end on Friday, January 23!
Each grade level is competing against each other to earn points. The winning grade level will not be the one that has the most money, but the most POINTS! Ultimately, grade levels want to collect pennies and bills to have the most points.
The Penny Wars buckets will be set up in the lunchroom daily. Therefore, make sure to bring your coins to lunch. The winning grade level will have an ice cream celebration on January 30th!
All money raised through penny wars will go directly towards funding the Head Over Boots dance being held on February 13th.

LMS is in the Holiday Spirit! On Friday, December 12th, Mr. Hedgepeth's first 8th grade Automation and Robotics class spread a little holiday cheer by stringing lights down the main hall. This idea started out as a debate between Mr. Hedgepeth and Mrs. Brigman about which lights (white or multi-colored) are more popular. From there, they had the idea to string lights in the halls. To make this possible, Mr. Hedgepeth's students measured the hall and calculated the diagonal lengths using the Pythagorean Theorem to determine how many feet of lights they would need. They ended up stringing over 400 feet of lights. Not only will this bring excitement to the student body, but it created excitement for Mr. Hedgepeth's students!

Mrs. Marsh's 7th grade Science students just finished up their EGG-cellent project on Energy Transfer. Students were given a budget of $100 to spend on materials from Mrs. Marsh's pop up shop. Then they designed, created, and built a contraption to hold an egg that would be dropped about 10 feet from the ground. Students were very clever with their designs. Most of the eggs survived, but we lost a couple to cracks and breaks. Check out a few of the designs shown here!

Ms. Upton has been using the website, WeWillWrite, to help her 7th grade ELA students improve their writing skills. This website includes interesting prompts, which students respond to anonymously, competing to get the most votes from their classmates. The competitive component motivates students to give their best effort and gets them excited about writing. Ms. Upton shared the information with Mr. McInnis about this free resource, so now all of our 7th grade students are making use of it.
