LCIS Friday Afternoon Shout Out 1-5-24
Dear LCIS Families:
Happy New Year!!
We hope you had a wonderful Winter Break – and continue to enjoy some time together this weekend!
We can’t wait to see everyone on Monday, January 8th, to begin our 2nd semester. Two weeks seem to go so fast, and yet it seems like such a long time to be apart!
Student Progress Reports for Semester 1 will go home in backpacks on January 11th. We are so proud of the students at LCIS! Please call the office if you do not receive your child’s progress report or if you have any questions. Our next Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for March 20-21, but you are always welcome to contact the LCIS Staff! Please call 719-486-6830 or go to our website (www.lakecountyschools.net) to contact your child’s teacher by email.
LCIS is looking forward to its annual Spelling Bee! Our school-wide Bee will take place on Wednesday, February, 7th at 8:15 in the LCIS Gym. Spelling Bee word lists have been sent home. Help your child study for the first round of spelling, which will take place in their classrooms toward the end of January. The winner of the classroom Bee will participate in the school-wide Bee. We will also ask that our runner up speller prepare for the school-wide Bee in case the top speller is not available that day and they will get to participate. If you would like an additional word list, have your child ask their teacher for more words. You can learn more about the Scripps Spelling Bee here.
PROJECT DREAM UPDATE:
Project Dream is excited to continue programs this spring! Find all spring information, including updated bus routes, here: https://www.lakecountyschools.net/project-dream-spring-information/
ATHLETIC UPDATE:
Panther Gear! If you are looking for Lake County spirit gear, our Panther store is still open. This year there are additional sport-specific options. You can find those here. Spirit wear (in the bottom right hand corner) says Panthers instead of a specific sport. 5% of sales comes back to the athletic/activities department.
This year we will be charging for ALL GYM sporting events- high school and middle school.
Ticket prices will be $7/adults and $5/seniors for HS games and $3/adults and $1/seniors for MS games. We will NOT be taking cash at the front door, but we will take credit cards at the door.
You can also buy your tickets online in advance at: https://gofan.co/app/school/CO11697
The Lake County Annual Pass will get you into any home event- HS or MS, volleyball or basketball.
Reminder: Lake County students will need to show their school ID to get free entry into the games.

First Baptist Church of Leadville is continuing our monthly family movie nights! Due to some scheduling conflicts, we are changing our movie nights from the fourth Friday of the month to the 3rd Friday of the month. We hope to see you for our FREE movie (with popcorn!) on Oct 20th at 6:00pm. Licensing constraints prevent us from always being able to advertise the movie titles, but you can always email church@fbcleadville.com to ask about this month’s movie!
