Scheduling opens March 9th for Preschool Screenings.
Fifth grade project time! Four students show off their science dioramas.
Motor planning is the foundation of strong handwriting ✏️ Before letters look neat on paper, brains are working hard to plan, sequence, and control every movement. When motor planning skills are strong, handwriting becomes smoother, more automatic, and more confident. Strong bodies → strong brains → strong writers. even when it does include “6 7”.
Third graders measured their arm strength, ability to balance, and their height while learning about how these traits change after being in space. Muscles weaken, balance worsens, and you become taller without gravity!
Many thanks to Mrs. Mary Stassen from the Lexington Public Library for recently visiting Mrs. Burcenski’s English 1 and Language Lab classes to engage students in a wide variety of activities to learn more about the Holocaust in honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Language Lab students also worked to build background knowledge to help them better understand the impact of the Holocaust in France to assist their learning while reading White Bird: A Wonder Story by R.J. Palacio. Mrs. Stassen brings with her over thirty years of teaching experience and a passion for learning about and teaching students about the Holocaust.
Officer Mac visited Mrs. Chapman's kindergarten class and shared more information about what a school resource officer does at a school and why he enjoys his job!

We wrapped up our Heart Healthy week with a "Minutemen Walk the Halls" event. The pep band led the way for all of our Minutemen to get hearts pumping to head into the weekend. Thank you to Nurse Julianne, Mrs. Patton, and Mrs. Stutzman for their efforts to make this week a success!

Congratulations to the January Purple Pride winners!
As part of our American Heart Association Kids' Heart Challenge week, we practiced CPR in all PE classes throughout the district. Hats off to Mr. Haslett and Mr. Patton for working with students to teach this lifesaving technique. The enthusiasm was contagious (and the elementary students loved having the song Stayin' Alive playing in the background to help them keep rhythm).
We are thankful to the Lexington EMS department for loaning us their mannikins to use for this lesson.
We are 100 days smarter! Our kindergarteners celebrated the 100th day of the school year today with various activities and creations. If you know one of our kindergarten students, we encourage you to ask them to count to 100 for you!
The American Heart Association's American Heart Challenge is here at Lexington Schools! This week our students will be learning how to keep their hearts and brains healthy, and raise funds to help kids with special hearts. Please see the attachments that provide the daily themes for Elementary and Jr High/High School students to participate while in attendance at school. We're inviting families to sign up and complete Finn's Mission where they will learn Hands Only CPR and the warning signs of a stroke.
