The Ludwig Ledger
February 2020
We had a busy January...
Our beginning band had their first concert in mid-January under the direction of Mrs. Nommensen and Mrs. Danely. Although these students just started playing their instruments a few months ago, they sounded amazing!

G.R.E.A.T.
Our fifth-graders completed the G.R.E.A.T. program with Officers Szmergalski and Brauch in December. The students learned many strategies to make good choices and to be good citizens. A graduation ceremony was held on January 17th to celebrate this accomplishment. Members from the Lockport Police Department were present, as well as K-9, Citgo. The students loved learning about Citgo's job and what he is capable of.

The fourth graders spent the day at the West Suburban Sports Complex (formerly known as the Bulls-Sox Academy) to learn about the importance of a healthy lifestyle through diet and exercise.
Representatives from the Robert Crown Center came to Ludwig to teach our fifth-graders about their changing bodies and strategies to stay healthy and clean!

Historical Perspectives Assembly
Our students and staff had the opportunity to learn about the life of Amelia Earhart on January 31st. We learned so much about her as a child and an adult. She was quite adventurous and truly a role model for all!
