On Sunday the Rice County Arts Council hung a show at Studio 96 in Sterling composed of Lyons, Sterling and Little River Schools. While we are down a little compared to normal from me being gone the majority of last semester, the students have fought to get caught up and a few were recognized for their talents, but most importantly their hard work and efforts!
If you see these artists, congratulate them!

Saturday, March 11, the LHS Powerlifting Team traveled to Conway Springs High School to compete at their 15th Annual Powerlifting Meet. There were a total of 403 student athletes representing 26 schools. As a team LHS was represented by eight student-athletes who placed 15 out of 26 for team results. Despite missing a few team members due to spring break, trips and prior commitments we were able to have individual success competing and Maddox Link, an 8th grade student at LMS was able to become the first LMS student-athlete to compete within a Jr. Powerlifting Meet.
Every student athlete hit a personal PR in ATLEAST one individual lift once again.
