LCMS Weekly Updates
By Tami Gunset
Parents,
This time of year is really busy, so please make sure that you are encouraging your child to stay on top of grades and deadlines. It is helpful for parents to stay in communication with their child's teachers.

Nurses Educating on Illegal Drugs & Synthetics (NEIDS)
Lubbock-Cooper is proud to host University Medical Center’s Nurses Educating on Illegal Drugs & Synthetics (NEIDS) in order to educate our community about the dangers of synthetic marijuana and other illegal drugs. NEIDS is an outreach group of registered nurses that believes synthetic marijuana and other illegal drugs kill and harm too many, especially teenagers who do not understand the dangers of these types of drugs. LCMS students will receive this presentation Friday, December 18 from 10:30-11:30AM.

About the Author
Brynnan Brooks is a 7th grader at Lubbock-Cooper Middle School. While this is her first children’s book, it is not her first story. She loves to write and does so whenever she has spare time. Brynnan also enjoys music (piano, drums, and euphonium), sports (softball and volleyball), crafting, and church activities.
Proceeds from the sale of this book will go towards the cost of an educational trip she is taking this summer to Washington D.C. and New York City. Be sure to share the links to this book with a friend.
About the Illustrator
Kristie Biro is 15 years old and resides in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. She enjoys karate, music, art, and horseback riding.

Helping our VERY OWN during the Holidays!
The LCMS PTO is very excited to announce their newest fundraising event:
Duct Tape the Principal to the Wall
LCMS staff, students, and parents will have the opportunity to duct tape the amazing LCMS Principal, Mrs. Gunset, to a wall of the school. The PTO will be selling duct tape in one-yard strips. Staff, students, and parents will have the opportunity to place the duct tape strip on the Principal. We hope that enough duct tape strips will be placed on the Principal so that she will be suspended above the ground on a wall of the school.
The PTO’s goal is to raise $1,200.00 to purchase Christmas Day Meals for families in need at LCMS.
