Please join us for the Lakin Homecoming Parade on September 20! It will begin at 6:00 pm. Due to COVID, the district will make a final decision whether the parade will happen or not on September 14. If we DO get to have the parade, then please consider things like masks and social distancing on floats. So, for example, having two trailers of football players instead of one trailer so social distancing can be achieved if masks aren't going to be worn. Also, there will NOT be a pep rally at the end. The theme is "Rail the Railroaders". We welcome all entries from near and far! Possible categories include: floats, antique vehicles, tractors, combines, semi-trucks, motorcycles and 4-wheelers, horses and horse and buggy combinations, miscellaneous category. Prizes will be awarded to the best in each category.
If you are interested in having an entry in this parade, please contact Kim Panzer at kim.panzer@usd215.org or 620-640-4420 (text or phone call).

LGS Families and Lakin community,
Please come Monday afternoon or Monday evening to LGS to leave an encouraging message for our children on the sidewalk! Please do this on all of the sidewalks around the building as we have seven doors that we are now using for entrance to the building for students. The seven doors all have numbers on them.
We will have chalk available for you to use up by the front doors. We just ask that if you use our chalk that you make sure your hands are sanitized to help us prevent germ spreading. You may also bring your own chalk.
Please remember to practice social distancing! 
LGS Families,
I will be doing a Facebook Live tomorrow morning at 9:00 am to give some updates for the beginning of the school year. I hope you can tune in!
Mrs. Panzer
Due to the uncertainty regarding school / activities right now, we have decided to move fall senior night for FB, CC, GG and VB to the September 11 home FB game vs Stratford, TX. This way we can at least recognize those seniors in case we get shut down. Hopefully we will be in school all year and can recognize the other senior athletes for their respective sports during their season. More info regarding specifics will be communicated with athletes, parents and coaches.

Bronc Baseball will have another BP tonight, the 26th, weather permitting! Starts at 6 out at Louck’s Park. Anyone is welcome
Bronc Golf Night! Kids came out for a few holes of golf and some fun with friends!
After the most recent actions taken by the KSBE it appears (at least for now) that we will start school and sports as scheduled. With that being the case, we will make next week our last official week of BRONC STRONG workouts. Our previous schedule at the beginning of the summer didn't have that due to uncertainties with the summer schedule. As of now, any extra workouts in the weight room, at the track or on the fields can be done at the discretion of the captains and/or head coaches.
As many of you have heard, yesterday the State Board of Education did not approve Governor Kelly’s Executive Order to delay the opening of schools until September 9.
The decision on when school starts now shifts to each local school board.
At this point in time we do not anticipate a change in the start day for students published on the current calendar.
A group of USD 215 staff and patrons began working to solidify our reopening guidelines. We expect those to be approved by the Board of Education at a special meeting in early August. Once they are approved by the Board we will communicate them to you directly and make sure copies are available electronically.

We are needing more teams to make this happen. Please contact Coach Thompson to sign up! #getBETTER
Bronc Strong and scheduled team workouts will resume tomorrow and continue until further notice. We will continue taking the appropriate precautions to keep our athletes and coaches safe. See you in the morning!
Locker 66:5 has graciously donated supplies for the LMS kids. They will be providing most of their list. They won’t be buying the trapper keepers, PE items and binders for art. But should have the rest covered. They will hand out to the students on enrollment at the Lutheran Church along with items Lakin Drug is donating for the LGS. A huge thanks to them for the gracious donation to our kids and families during these uncertain times. Please reach out with questions. Thanks

Dear Lakin Community,
Today Governor Laura Kelly held a press briefing to announce Kansas Education Plans for the 2020-2021 school year. Joining her at the briefing was Dr. Lee Norman, Secretary for the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and Dr. Randy Watson, Kansas Commissioner of Education.
The briefing informed schools that on Monday, July 20, 2020, Governor Kelly will release an executive order requiring schools to delay opening until after Labor Day. It will also require daily temperature checks and masks to be worn.
We will know more on Monday after we review the exact wording of the order and will begin work on our specific reopening plan for USD 215 and will include a new academic calendar.
Dr. Martin Stessman, Superintendent of Schools
Check out MAYB Wichita, KS July 18th-19th on Tourney Machine! The Broncs will have 5 teams competing in their final tournament of the summer.

Be sure whatever you submit shows your total hours taken this past year and your cumulative GPA. In addition, you will need to indicate what college you will be attending and give Kay or Roelfina your social security number. All this information will then be forwarded to the KCCF.
There is also a deadline - all this information needs to be submitted to the LHS office by no later than August 10, 2020.
A note that gave all this information was sent to you in January with your spring semester check.
If you have any questions, please contact kim Lohman at kim.lohman@usd215.org
