S/o to these girls and their Summer Olympic team for helping with the youth track meet and doing a little team bonding after. Love the extra help and team building happening this summer with several teams.
We finished up the Girls Sports Camp today! We had 3 days of volleyball, 3 days of basketball, and three days of track with the last day being a track meet. Every day we had between 45 and 50 girls getting better! Always fun to do this camp and end with a water fight! If anyone has pictures from the water fight please share them in the comments. I didn’t take any because I was getting soaked!🤣
Pretty neat golf opportunity for Hs / Ms kids. See Coach Thompson to get signed up. #getBETTER

The District Leadership Team is meeting today to start planning our "Continuous Learning" plan. At this point, Lakin USD #215 will have NO face-to-face instruction through April 27. We will continue to monitor and reevaluate that decision as time progresses. Other methods of instruction delivery are being planned to be in place by March 30.
5th through 8th grade parents, please fill out this survey! Let Mrs. Anderson know if you are having issues with it!

Last message! Grab and go delivery will start 3/20/20.
If you meet the guidelines of grab and go delivery, please text or call Kim Panzer. 620-640-4420. Thank you.
Grab and go delivery is intended for the following scenarios:
*If your family is quarantined. If that's the case, we will leave the meal and milk on your porch and knock on your door to let you know we have done so.
*If your child(ren) is home alone during the day and you don't feel comfortable to have them walk to the school because they are crossing major highways.
*You have limited vehicle access and your children cannot walk to the school because of crossing major highways.
Grab and go breakfast and lunch meals are free to anyone under 18 years of age. We will continue this until further notice.
