Message from Principal Beine

September 19, 2023

Each month our entire school focuses on a different core virtue. September's virtue focus is TEAMWORK! This is a great virtue to begin with as we start our school year as there are so many things in and around our school that are only accomplished by staff and/or students working together in big and small teams. Our definition of teamwork is "when a group of people work together to complete a task." We begin each month with our all-school assembly to discuss the core virtue together and then the following two weeks take place in our classrooms for age-appropriate activities and discussions revolving around the core virtue. Teamwork is a "people skill" that everyone needs to learn and practice to be a productive citizen, and, at LCA, we are happy to help students practice this skill with their peers. Below you can see some pictures from our staff and students engaged in learning about teamwork during our first three weeks! You can reinforce the importance of this core virtue into your home, as well.

Girls on the Run

August 29, 2023

We are excited to announce that Girls on the Run will be offered at Lake Country Academy

for a third season! Girls on the Run will begin September 7. Practices will be Mondays and

Thursdays, 3:15-5:00pm. The season concludes with a celebration 5K run Saturday, November 11, tentatively at Fox Valley Technical College in Appleton. Registration for the program is available online www.girlsontherunnew.org and closes September 24. The full program fee is $160.00; however, financial assistance is available. GIRLS ON THE RUN IS FOR EVERY GIRL. Pay what you can! Simply check the box requesting financial assistance when you register. The program fee includes 20 lessons, handouts and supplies, registration for the 5K event, a program shirt, 5K run shirt, water bottle, healthy snacks at each practice, finisher’s medal, a 5K goody bag, and trained Girls on the Run coaches.

Girls on the Run integrates running to inspire 3rd through 8th grade girls to be joyful, healthy,

and confident. There are two separate curricula: Girls on the Run for grades 3rd-5th and Heart & Sole for grades 6th-8th. We teach life skills through dynamic, conversation-based lessons and running games.

We also need volunteer coaches to help make this happen! As a Girls on the Run coach you will:

• Have access to the Girls on the Run Curriculum which is VERY easy to follow
  
• Have all the lesson materials you need each week
  
• Be involved in the Girls on the Run games/activities and can run/walk with the girls, especially at their Celebration 5k
• Work closely with the other Girls on the Run coaches
  
• Attend a one-time New Coach Training
  
• Have the opportunity to see the participants grow through the season; feeling more confident in who they are; developing strength of character; and becoming more caring and compassionate people.
