COLERIDGE — The Laurel-Concord-Coleridge Middle School gym recently turned into a place of music, laughter and celebration as students, staff and parents gathered for a fun afternoon recognizing middle school activities and accomplishments.
Music for the event was provided by the LCC Middle School band and choir, setting the tone for the celebration while several school programs and student achievements were highlighted.
Laura Nordby shared an update on the school’s Lego League program, while Blake Brown talked about the upcoming junior high track season and encouraged students to get involved in the sport.
Several middle school students were also recognized for recent accomplishments. Maya Brummels and Stella Graham qualified for the Junior High Wrestling Meet. Stella Graham, Tenlie Christiansen, Foster Stone and Cade Barnes earned spots in the State Band.
The Laurel-Concord-Coleridge Parent-Teachers Organization (PTO) for grades K-8 helped provide entertainment for the celebration.
Over the years, LCC Middle School Principal Mark Leonard has proven to be a good sport during the annual event — previously taking a pie in the face or even being duct-taped to a wall.
This year’s activity saw students turn their principal into a “human sundae.”
Students also enjoyed competing in several “Minute to Win It” games throughout the afternoon. To cap off the celebration, everyone had the chance to build and enjoy their own ice cream sundaes.
The event provided a lighthearted way to recognize student success while bringing the school community together for an afternoon of fun.
