Got Game? Playing games is fun, Play with purpose.
Students participated in the LGMS Games Club playing board and strategic planning games. Advisor and School Counselor, Rob Ocker, would meet weekly to challenge the students with playing games. In an age of digital devices, playing games has a purpose. Mr. Ocker states, " playing games, socializing with out social media, learning how to be a good winner and a good loser are social and communication skills so relevant in today's society. And it is fun to hang out and socialize with games!"

Title 1 District Wide Information:
Title I is a federal program that is used to work with students who would need extra assistance in reading skills. Recently, every school in the Lake Geneva School district became a School-wide Title school . Schoolwide programs allow the schools greater flexibility on how they utilize specialists in each building. Students that are identified as needing extra services in reading will still receive reading services however specialists may also be used in additional ways such as coaching, co-teaching to assist all of our students, and enhance our reading program as a whole.
