LTMS Highlights
Career Fair
Our 7th graders did excellent representing our school at the Career Fair. They were engaged and asked some great questions. This event allowed them to meet with a variety of businesses as they begin to think about career pathways in high school and beyond. Below is a slideshow of the event.
Engineering Technology
6th Grade
Mr. Hagstrom has some excellent projects taking place in his class, all that require higher level thinking. In 6th grade, students designed "whirly birds" and had a longest-flight competition.
7th Grade
7th graders designed and built "battle bots" using only the materials provided. The robots they designed competed, and students were allowed to then modify their bot and try again. This design process is how things are invented!
8th Grade
The 8th graders wrapped up their CO2 car competitions and have moved into a computer programming unit. They've been coding and creating programs. This seems like a foreign language to me, but the kids learn quickly!

USD 232 Education Foundation
The USD 232 Education Foundation is getting geared up for our FIRST end of year giving campaign, lovingly named 12 Days of Giving, in honor of our 12 schools in the district. Every dollar raised as part of this campaign will be used to support educational excellence for the students of USD 232, through teacher grants and school programs. Now is the time for our community to come together to imagine the possibilities these contributions can have in our district!
