MS/HS Band Performance
Congratulations to the combined forces of the 7th and 8th Grade Bands of Lakeshore Middle School joined the Lakeshore Lancer Marching Band for a rousing rendition of "All Star" at Al Stockman Stadium on October 18th. When the 129 Middle School Band members stood alongside the 114 High School Band members, the sights and sounds were stunning! Many Lancer fans were on their feet and singing along! We are all very proud of you. LMS Band Members also got to perform stands tunes during the first half of the football game side-by-side with their high school counterparts, adding energy and intensity to the support of the varsity football team!
Students in addition to the 6th Grade Band can be found performing at the Collage Concert on December 16th at 7pm in the Lakeshore High School Gym. We hope to see you there!
Family Meeting
Benson
A summary of what was read at Family Meeting: Get ready to be impressed by this week’s Lancer Leader of the Week! The sixth-grade teachers have only known this student since August, but he’s already made a big impact. He’s known for his positive attitude, dedication to excellence, and love for sports—especially basketball and baseball. At home, he’s cheered on by his dogs Layla, Jazzy, and Charlie. Having lived in Idaho, Utah, Colorado, and now Stevensville, we’re thrilled to have him in the Class of 2031. Fun fact: his older brother was also a Lancer Leader of the Week! Congratulations, Benson!
Cross country reflected on the season!
Wesley
A summary of the Lancer Leader of the Week write up: This week's Lancer Leader of the Week is a 7th-grade Team Lancer student who models self-management and responsible decision-making. His ideal day would include fishing, playing football with friends, watching an NFL game with family, and enjoying burgers, hot dogs, or quesadillas. His teachers admire how he stays true to his values, making decisions based on what's right, not peer pressure. He consistently puts effort into his work and asks thoughtful questions. With clear goals and dedication, his future looks bright. Team Lancer is proud to recognize Wesley as this week's Lancer Leader of the Week! Congratulations, Wesley!

The grade earning the highest points wins The Golden Lance the following week and is announced at Family Meeting. 6th and 7th grade each have two wins while 8th grade has four wins so far this year.
