Good Morning from the New Litchville-Marion School!
A few things prior to the opening of the doors tomorrow at LMSD!
First, what a tremendous experience last night seeing and feeling the excitement, pride and commitment to the new facility! The many familiar and new faces experiencing the changes for the first time was such a positive! Personally I have been so blessed to experience a group of communities and people who value each other and the education process so deeply as to create an atmosphere which should propel us deep into the future! Awesomeness!!!
Secondly, the high school staff, have been asked to create a list of supplies needed to start the year. Probably something we should have awhile ago as the elementary staff is a step ahead! So here goes:
1. Early Morning PE:
We will begin Monday in the classroom to develop a personalized portion of the workout! Supplies will be proper physical education clothing and shoes that do not see the outside world! The new gymnasium is a piece of art and we will respect it as such!! NO outside foot ware at anytime we are in the gym for class!! Also, no water or beverages or food inside the gym for the class! A water fountain is right outside the door! Once in the Fitness Center we will set some guidelines together with Mr. Knudson and Mrs. Bowen!!
2. All other classes--Algebra 2, Algebra 1, Mathematics 8, LifeSmarts, ALEKS, and Applied Consumers Mathematics will only need paper and pencils! All rulers, calculators, etc I will attempt to provide! If they need pencils, I have a pencil dispenser in my room but the pencils will cost $.25/pencil. This should remind them to bring their own supplies!?
Lastly, as I watched the pride shown by the visitors last night, please strive to respect the communities, each other, the building and all its staff! The Communities, the School Board, administration, staff, and you the students have made a commitment to the future. ( Mr. Nitschke--yes you!) When you drop that candy wrapper, that hand towel in the bathrooms, or accidentally spill take a second to stop and be that role model. Pick it up, clean it up and help keep it special for the next generation! "LMDS PRIDE" can go a long way!!
See you all very soon --Bring your Smiles!! Let's Rock the Year!!
Keep Smiling!!
PS: If you get a chance go on Instagram and comment on the T-Mobile Friday Night Lights stating some Friday Night Sporting Memories and why the communities could use outside field updates as well as the Fitness Center! Thank You!
