A special thanks to Dave Lawstuen, the chair of the Dairy Center, for the invitation and to Boone Moen, one of our tour guides.

K-12 LHS students spend a day learning about being a B.U.R.R.O. (Be Understanding, Respectful, Responsible, and Optimistic) students. HS and Elementary students joined up and rotated though different stations learning about expectation in the classroom, halls, recess, lunch, bathrooms, and bus. 7-12 Class officers led the Expectation Stations. Also, 7-12 graders participated in an iLead training led by Mr. Clarke. This training is to promote student leadership during classroom meetings. A special thanks to Lanesboro Booster Club and Lanesboro FFA for sponsoring the event.

Lanesboro students joined other students from around the region, rehearsed together for one day, and then performed a concert that same evening!
It was a day of hard work and making music together. Congratulations to our Lanesboro students!

Lanesboro School Community:
I’d like to take this opportunity, first and foremost, to say thank you to our entire community. While yesterday’s results will help to ensure we can continue to live our mission statement here at Lanesboro Schools, the more important part was that so many of our neighbors and friends participated in our democracy by voting. We’re fortunate to live in a place where folks are civically engaged and help to ensure the quality of our community for generations.
Approval of the operating referendum question on the ballot will allow Lanesboro Schools to continue to provide the opportunities that our students and community have come to value. We thank you for your trust and your support of what we do here at Lanesboro Schools each day. We’ll continue our promise to operate in a fiscally responsible way while providing a quality education that can ensure lifelong success in an ever-changing world.
Along with that, congratulations and thank you to our three Board Members that were elected yesterday. Steve Storhoff and Kevin Horihan will continue their service to the District and the Board will be joined by our newest member, Byron Rodger, starting in January.
Go Burros!

Lanesboro School Community:
My message today is simply a reminder of the upcoming election on November 3rd. Thank you to all of you that set aside time to participate in this day of civic pride that we sometimes take for granted. Each of your votes matters for the strength of not only our school, but of our community, and our State.
Our school district is similar to others that surround us, but unique in our values. We value the opportunities our students have to participate in a broad range of courses, to have experiences outside of our classroom walls, and to find community in our small classes and myriad extra-curricular offerings.
We value not only reading and math, but agriculture, the arts, and technology, which our school prioritizes as we budget each year. By not charging activity or athletic fees, we value accessible programming by making it possible for students to participate in any activity they feel passionate about. We value our families by providing affordable preschool, free summer recreation, and our Lanesboro Child Care Center services.
Finally, we value our community by never asking for more than we need. Along with all of the other local and state elections, there is a school operating referendum question on the ballot that asks for $850 per pupil in levy authority for the district to use towards our operating expenses. The $850 per pupil that is being requested still keeps us near the bottom of operating referendum costs for all of our comparable districts while providing needed funds to continue prioritizing our values.
Thank you for your time and consideration and Go Burros!

Congratulations to FFA members who competed at the Region 8 CDEs on Friday in Houston and their great results!
Forestry team placed second and qualified for state! Individually Gwen placed 3rd, Preston 9th and August 11th.
The Meats Evaluation team narrowly missed going to state tying for 3rd but landing in 4th due to the tiebreaker (best finish for this team in decades). But Beau placed 4th and qualified for state individually, Jacob finished 12th, and Jaden, Sam and Henry rounded out the team.
Congratulations and good luck at state!

Miss Terry's 5th grade class participated in a pumpkin contest this week. The kids enjoyed designing their pumpkins and the rest of the school loved voting every day for who should stay in the competition. Here are some photos of their creations.
