World Character Day 2019

Today LMS Students observed World Character Day.  We started our morning by watching a video called "30,000 Days" by Let It Ripple.  Afterwards, students shared and recorded their ideas about how they can shine a light on good character.  World Character Day unites millions of people each year from around the world while focusing on good character: strengths like empathy, grit, gratitude and leadership.  Research shows that character development leads not only to school and career success, but also to stronger, more engaged individuals and a more just world.  For more information about World Character Day (or to browse through the videos offered), please visit Let It Ripple Organization at https://www.letitripple.org/character-day/.

Red Ribbon Week Leaders

Last Thursday, I had the pleasure of escorting ten students to Red Ribbon Leader Training sponsored by the National Coalition Against Drugs and Alcohol (NCADA).  These leaders received information about a variety of drugs and their harmful short and long term effects along with other middle schoolers from around the St. Louis County region.  In addition, they began the process of planning for our Red Ribbon Week at LMS which is scheduled from October 28th-November 1st.  The National Theme for Red Ribbon this year is: Send a Message.  Stay Drug Free.  We look forward to seeing what activities our leaders plan for our school this year.
