Honors nights are May 31 and June 1. The sixth grade honors ceremony is May 31 at 6:00 PM, followed by 7th grade at 7:00 PM. Students will receive an invitation to attend if they are receiving an award. Our eighth grade celebration is June 1 at 6:00 PM, and all students are invited to attend.

LMS students have been busy with events over the last few weeks, so check out the articles and pictures below for a glimpse at all the happenings!

In addition to the scholarship through Michigan Tech, Southern Michigan Bank generously offered to cover the cost for a second LMS student, Liam Doll, to attend the summer program! Students will live in the residence hall, eat in the dining hall, and participate in recreational activities. Madison and Liam each get to select an exploration program of their choice for their week on campus! Thank you to Mr. Grabowski, Mr. Anglin and Southern Michigan Bank for making this experience possible for Liam!

White Washed By: Kaitlyn Senyk

I’ve heard of the people.

The people that resist,

The people who fight back,

The ones that are missed.

I can’t fight...

Instead,

I pick up my brush

And I paint every night.

I paint what I see outside my window,

The death.

The confusion.

The fear.

Fear.

What is fear?

Is it the gnawing feeling,

Nothing good will ever happen?

Is it the pain of knowing,

I might be next?

No!

There is no time for fear.

So, I sit and I paint.

I paint the lies,

And the lives

Of the innocent

And the killers.

I paint the pain,

And the joy,

The fright, all night.

I look out my window

And take it all in

I hate the death,

And confusion,

And fear.

But how can I be afraid,

When all I do is hide?

How?

When I should be at their aid.

How?

When so many have died.

I sit in my room,

Watching,

Waiting,

Letting it happen.

I remind myself

That should be me,

I should be the one out there.

But I’m not.

I’m in here.

I sit and I pray,

I pray for another day.

A day without fear.

A day where everyone is equal

And normal again.

Then I grab my brush once more,

And dip it in the plain, white paint.

I watch in sadness

As all the death,

All the confusion,

And all the fear disappears.

Only to start again tomorrow.

We are so proud of Kaitlyn, not only for winning her category but also for her ability to take what she has learned and express it in such a beautiful and challenging way.

Congratulations, Kaitlyn!
