Carter: School Halloween Parade and Trick/Treat

MN Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers

The Vikings might be playing about as good as "dirt" in 2013 - but going to the Vikings/Packers game always has lots of drama and excitement. For the second year in a row, we were able to score (2) tickets for the game today! Logan is fired up and ready to squash some cheese heads.

A message from LAKE MARION ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dear LME Families,

 

We were informed by the MN Department of Education this week that Lake Marion Elementary has been designated a Reward School for the third year in a row.  The MN Department of Education has adopted and used this rating scale the last three years to determine Adequate Yearly Progress Proficiency, Student Growth, and Achievement Gap Closure. All schools receive a score between 0 and 100 based on these performance areas.  LME received a rating of 98.82 on the 100 point scale.

The Reward School designation recognizes the top 15% of the highest performing K-12 schools in the state.  In addition, Lake Marion Elementary was one of the 20 K-12 schools in the state to receive the Reward School designation all three years it has been in existence.

 

This honor is a testament to the hard work of all our students and staff and the tremendous support we receive from our parent community.  Our systematic K - 5 approach to literacy and math instruction, along with the deep commitment of all our staff to help our students grow academically and socially has enabled our students to flourish.

 

Sincerely,

Dr. John W. Braun

LME Principal

Congratulations Logan!

Logan made the 4th grade Lakeville South traveling basketball "B" team. (34) kids tried out and Logan ranked number (12). (8) kids made the "A" team and (10) made "B" and (10) on "C". Very excited for him - he practiced a lot this summer at multiple camps. Most of his good buddies made "A" but he seems ok with it as he knows they haven been playing longer.

What does this mean for mom and dad. Lots of basketball. Practices 2x per week and 8 weekends of tournaments - some out of town in hotels. Oh are little boy is getting so old! Here is a link to the tournament schedule so the grandparents can plan.
