Dear Families,
Thank you to Ms. Lori Jodoin and all of the volunteers who made our annual Pumpkin Carving Event such a great success. There were several hundred cool and creative pumpkins carved that night and it is great to see them displayed around our community!
Halloween activities and our annual parade are planned for October 28th. The parade will start at 8:45 in the Main hallway and all are invited to attend this very exciting event. On that day, students will also have parties and the opportunity to play carnival-like games with their classmates in the gym.
Our first Opening of the year will take place on November 3, 2022 beginning at 8:30 in the gym. It will be a presentation by our middle school students on the Grandfather Teaching of Respect (Minaadendimowin). All are invited to attend.
The next PAC meeting has been rescheduled to November 14, 2022 beginning at 5:30 in the JKL cafeteria. PAC meetings encourage long lasting relationships and give parents an opportunity to share ideas for improving our school. We hope to see many families in attendance!
Our next half-day of school is Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2022. This is also Joseph K. Lumsden Day which we celebrate to honor the founder of our school. Students will be dismissed at noon following lunch that day. Please take a moment to remember both Joseph K Lumsden and all of our Veterans on this very special day.
Please mark your calendars for our November 17th & 18th Parent Teacher Conferences. Students will be dismissed at noon following lunch both of these days with conferences in the afternoon. You will receive a copy of your child’s NWEA Fall MAP scores at the conferences and ideas for helping your child improve areas where they may be learning gaps.
Also, we would like to remind families to send in weather appropriate outside wear AND a FULL change of clothes. We have a limited supply of extra clothes for those students who get wet/muddy or have any type of accident, as this can happen to any student, no matter their age.
Have a wonderful week!
Sincerely,
Theresa Kallstrom

This July, we were fortunate to have 20 of our students attend Purdue University's Gifted Education Resource and Research Institute's (GER2I) Summer Residential program. Students spent two weeks with students from across the country and around the world while furthering their education both in classrooms and through rich real-life experiences.
Summer School students were able to spend a day exploring the Soo Locks
