General art students have been hard at work sewing stuffed monsters for the annual kindergarten/high school art collaboration. Each year during this project, kindergarten students make drawings of monsters then meet with a high school art student to discuss their creation. High schoolers then use their newly acquired basic sewing knowledge to create a stuffed version of the drawing. It is a fun and exciting learning experience that celebrates the uniqueness of a preK-12 school district existing under one roof. This year we have many high school students that participated in this collaboration a decade ago as kindergarten students which is creating a full circle moment for the project.
First grade reading students working with Mrs. Peters were busy unscrambling mixed up sentences and recording their answers as well as using their phonics knowledge to "write" the different ways to spell sounds in the sand. They were busy bees right before break and are back at it again today!

The Lexington community once again showed its generosity and support at yesterday’s American Red Cross Blood Drive. Thank you to everyone who came out to donate and help make the event a success.
A special thank you goes to the Lexington Kiwanis and the LHS Key Club for co-hosting the drive, along with all of the volunteers who gave their time to help the day run smoothly. Because of your efforts, 34 units of blood were donated, which will help make a difference for patients in need.
We are especially proud of our Lexington staff and students who stepped up to donate, including several first-time donors who took the big step of giving blood for the very first time. Your willingness to help others truly reflects the caring spirit of our community.
Thank you again to everyone who participated and to the American Red Cross workers who made the entire process run so smoothly. Together, we truly made a difference.

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!
