Welcome back LMS!
This year is going to be great!

Youve seen their blue and pink
shirts they have been helping the 6th grad-
ers with their lockers they are the W.E.B.
Crew Leaders!
The W.E.B. crew leaders had a fun
time with all the 6th graders during orienta-
tion. They played games with them in groups
and welcomed them to their new school.
There are 36 W.E.B. crew leaders. Wow!
Thats a bunch of kids that are hard workers!
I asked Emily Connelly, one of the
W.E.B crew leaders, how it feels being a
group leader instead of a 6th grade partici-
pant. She said, I feel like its a better
chance to really help and to make the 6th
graders year as best as I can, and hopefully
be better than mine .

The W.E.B. crew has certainly helped
us kick off the school year, but there is a lot
more to look forward to. This year, we are go-
ing to have an amazing time doing pep ral-
lies. There are going to be 4 pep rallies. The
faculty will be in the pep rallies doing fun
things planned like every year. The cheer-
leaders and STARS will also be doing amaz-
ing performances for 6th, 7th, and 8th grad-
ers to see.

Dont forget about the book fair coming
up September 29th - October 3rd. So come
on by to see Mrs. Damon and her large col-
lection of wonderful books.
Also, LMS will be having Open House
on September 23rd from 5:30 - 7:00. This is
a great time for parents and students to visit
with teachers. This will also be when the new
BYOD policy will be explained to parents and
students. You dont want to miss it!

Black & Gold News is back!! This school year
news staff is made up of 18 LMS students. I
interviewed some of the newspaper staff.

When asked what she liked about newspaper,
Emily Connelly said she liked all the art in it.
Next, I asked Luke Evans what he liked about
newspaper and he said he likes to write about
sports and the art. Then, I asked if it was go-
ing to be a good year in newspaper. Francisco
Pacheco said that it is going to be a great year
in newspaper. I also asked Leslie Rodriguez
what she liked about newspaper. She said
she enjoys writing and making new friends.
Last but not least, I asked Hugo Lopez how
this year is going and he said it is going good
in newspaper.
