Exciting news: Sunday Open Gym at the High School has returned!
We're reaching out to you, our valued district parents, for assistance in making this a successful program. We need 3-4 enthusiastic volunteers to help supervise the open gym sessions at the Elementary School on Sunday afternoons. This is a great opportunity to engage with the community and support our children's activities.
Please remember that all volunteers will need to pass a background check. If you're interested in contributing to our children's growth and fun, please email Roz at rhowery@lpa.k12.mn.us.
Thank you for your support!

Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in our Veterans Day program yesterday! Our band, choir, and speakers were all phenomenal, and did a lovely job highlighting our gratitude to all Veterans on this day of remembrance. A huge thank you is due to Staff Sergeant John Stras for being our guest speaker this year! His speech reflected on our wonderful Veterans and their sacrifices, but also focused on our future, and how we all can contribute to the growth of our nation. Thank you as well, to our student speakers, Jaylin Cucich and Garret Donovan!
Reminder to all community members - we would be most honored to have you attend our annual Veterans Day Program this coming Monday, November 11th at 10 AM!

Our High School Student Council has taken time to plan a fun week for Halloween! Next week will feature dress up days, a costume day, and a student/staff Volleyball Tournament.

Exciting news! We’re holding a mock election to engage our secondary students in the voting process! All students will vote during school on election day (November 5th). This engaging activity is designed to teach them the importance of voting and how to express their opinions responsibly. By simulating a real election, students will gain valuable insights into civic responsibility and the power of their voices. Thank you for your support as we empower our young leaders!

Last Friday a group of high school and middle school students volunteered at a Feed My Starving Children event in Detroit Lakes. We spent about an hour and a half packing food to be shipped all around the world. We battled against Detroit Lakes schools to pack the most food, and our LPA Students took home the trophy!!
We had a total of 112 volunteers from both schools who wanted to make a difference and give hope to starving children. In less than two hours we packed over 25,000 meals - enough to feed 68 kids one meal a day for a YEAR!
Thank you to all our wonderful students and teachers for attending and working so hard!
Middle school STEAM students worked hard for 2 weeks to create cardboard cutouts for Lake Park’s Pumpkin Fest this past weekend! The students were so excited for their projects to be put around town. This was their first big project and I am so proud of the hard work they put in with such a short deadline.
Thank you to everyone who sent in photos!
