8th Grade Completion Ceremony
It is hard to believe that 8th Grade Completion time is upon us. Before you know it we will have a whole new class of Lake Denoon Middle School alumni entering high school. Each year, the staff at Lake Denoon, along with the help of 8th Grade families, work hard to make the promotion day a special one for our students. We have a number of events planned for Thursday, May 30th that are sure to make it memorable for all those involved.

Celebrate our 8th Graders!
Every year at Lake Denoon, we have a tradition of welcoming our 5th graders on the first day of school with a Welcome Parade. We bookend that tradition by asking 5th, 6th, and 7th grade families to consider donating items for the 8th grade breakfast being held on Thursday morning, May 30th. Let's celebrate the 8th graders as they prepare to embark on their high school journey. Please consider signing up via this LINK to donate.
Donations can be brought to Lake Denoon between May 28th and May 29th.
All donated items should be nut free.
Thank you!
8th Grade Celebration Committee
Lost and Found
There are plenty of items that need to be claimed by the end of the school year. PLEASE have your child/children check out the Lost and Found table to claim their possessions. Any items not claimed by the end of the school year will be donated.
Cross Country Summer Running Meeting- CHANGE OF DATE
All students doing cross country in the fall should attend the summer running meeting in Mr. Berger's room (Room 200) on Tuesday, May 28th from 3:10-3:30 pm. This is a change from our originally scheduled date in the sign-up paperwork. We will be explaining how summer running is tracked and what they can earn for hitting certain mileage. If your child is unable to attend, we will email them the information, but we'd like to see as many of our athletes there as possible!
Lastly, today is the final day to order apparel for the fall cross country season. There will not be an order placed in the fall. HERE is the link in case you are interested in ordering.
