Hello LCIS Families,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week marks the end of April and with that comes our monthly community meeting. Please join us on Wednesday at 8:05 in the LCIS Gym. Our third graders will be presenting an narration of a Native American story. These presenters have been focused on reading fluently: reading accurately, using expression, and having good pacing. We will also honor our Scholars of the Month for perseverance and award the CMAS perseverance winners who will receive tickets to the Rockies baseball game on May 20th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who participated in the \u201cAvalanche Cabin\u201d Escape Room at Mountain Time Escape Room in Breckenridge had a great time and were able to escape with only 2 minutes remaining on the clock! This crew showed great collaboration and perseverance as they solved puzzles to escape the cabin before the avalanche came. Way to go!<\/p>\n\n\n
