Good luck at State, LHS Forensics! We’re cheering you on from LGS!

The school greenhouse will be open tomorrow from 8:00-2:00pm. The plants are really growing and need a home. They make great Mother's Day gifts.

Shout out to some high school Junior helpers today! When they were 5th graders, Pioneer Day got canceled and so they were willing to jump in and help today!

Introducing the 2026-2027 LMS cheer team! Congratulations!

Congratulations to 6th grader Kipton, 7th grader Malachi, and 8th grader Martin for being named April Students of the Month at Lakin Middle School. These students exemplify what it means to show respect, take responsibility, act with integrity, demonstrate perseverance, and model strong citizenship each and every day. Their hard work and positive attitudes make a difference in our school community.

Help us celebrate our Staff Member of the Month, our amazing middle school secretary, Ms. Alondra! Since joining our team in November, she has become such a valuable part of our school family. Her hard work, positivity, and willingness to help wherever needed have made a huge impact on our staff, students, and families. Her ability to speak Spanish has also been an incredible asset, helping us better connect and communicate with our school community. We are so thankful for all she does and proud to recognize her for the difference she makes every day. Congratulations, Alondra on being Staff Member of the Month!
