From Our Principal
I can't believe it's October! We're looking forward to another great month here at LBMS! All parents should have received a School Messenger e-mail this past Thursday detailing a new bell schedule that will begin TODAY! We are very excited about this change as it will provide all students in the building with an opportunity to receive extra help from any of their teachers on a daily basis! Should you have any questions regarding this change, please do not hesitate to contact me!
Extra-curricular activities are increasing daily for this school year! Builder's Club meets every Friday at 7:50am. All students are welcome to join at any time! Also, Math Club starts tomorrow! Math Madness will begin tomorrow, October 3rd in the LBMS Computer Lab after school. The timed competition will begin at 3:40pm and lasts 30 minutes. There are over 500 schools that participate in this exciting online competition! We have a limit of 20 seats so please have your student see Miss Zollos in Room B133 ASAP if they are interested in joining! Lastly, if your student is interested in joining the Burneson Book Club, please have him/her see Mrs. Kosik in the library ASAP! The club will meet once a month before school. The book for October is "A Wrinkle in Time". We would love to see all of our students involved in a sport or extra-curricular activity!

As the new Career Shadow Facilitator at Westlake High School, I would like to extend an invite to all parents to be a part of the career exploration experience for Westlake High School students.
There are three opportunities for parents and the community to get involved:
- Career Shadowing offers the students an experience at your place of employment. This can be a half or full day experience. The student would shadow you and/or your colleagues and become aware of the daily activities of a specific career.
- As a Career Speaker, you would come to Westlake High School and speak with a group of students that have an interest in your career field.
- Lastly, you may allow a group of students to come to your place of employment for a Field Trip to tour and speak with various employees.
Exploring careers allows students to make better, informed decisions about their future. If you would like to be involved, please contact me at kronzb@wlake.org with your name, career field, company name, address and phone number. My goal is to establish a comprehensive database that I can use for our students. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
