We are pleased to announce that Laramie Middle School has been named a 2024-2025 Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase School, a prestigious honor awarded to campuses that demonstrate excellence in building a culture where students feel safe, connected, and engaged. This is the fourth year in a row that we’ve earned this honor. The Capturing Kids’ Hearts National Showcase Schools Award recognizes schools that go above and beyond in creating an environment where students thrive academically and emotionally. Capturing Kids’ Hearts tools are a big part of building and sustaining a culture of respect and belonging at LMS and we’re happy they are having the intended impact.
All students will be taking the math WYTOPP test this Wednesday. We will follow a modified block schedule for testing and students should report directly to their S4S class. Students will test with their S4S teachers. Our student leadership team made this video to help students be prepared for WYTOPP. Preliminary results indicate that our students are rocking the WYTOPP. We are very proud of the effort students, teachers, and families have put in all year and WYTOPP is a reflection of everyone’s hard work. We ask that students continue to come prepared, do their best, and not put undue pressure on themselves. WYTOPP is important, but it is also just one measure of student learning. When we’re finished, we’ll celebrate our successes, identify areas for improvement, and move on.

The 40th Annual Hapi-ness 5K will be held on Saturday, May 17th at 9:00 am. The Happiness 5K began in 1987, started by the 9th grade class of Laramie Junior High School in memory of their classmate, Hapi Patterson, who passed away from leukemia that year. Since then, this event has helped numerous families facing medical challenges and other hardships. This year, we are dedicating proceeds to support an LMS teacher, Mr. Krysl. For those of you that don't know, Mr. Krysl has a brain tumor removed over Christmas Break. Mr. Krysl has given so much to our students, staff, and school and this is our chance to give back. Please return this form with your entry fee to the LMS main office and support what we hope will be the biggest Hapi-ness 5K ever!
It’s a perfect week to be our best and sprint into the final part of this school season. Please help us finish strong by continuing to send your student prepared and ready to learn each and every day. Make it a great week!
