Livingston Manor was well-represented at Saturday's Trout Parade, #trouterspace, in Livingston Manor. LMCS Interact represented and supported A Single Bite; Edwin Peet along with fellow members of the Class of 2025 teamed up with the Girl Scouts; and The Middle School Band rocked the Trout Parade with a little help from the two banner carriers (Jace and Alex), four high school musicians, and LMCS alumni Brandon Sparkman. A job well done by all!

1, 2, 3, 4 ... we declare a prank war. The Seniors had their annual prank day today, starting by "creatively" parking their cars, covering the school with streamers and putting the school up for sale with a sign outside the senior lounge. SRO Beebe and tech teacher Dave Hubert paid the students back by covering their cars with streamers and placing a sign declaring their parking area a junk yard. The students repaid the favor by covering Beebe's and Hubert's vehicles with the streamers and moving the "junk yard" sign.

Congratulations to DARE Officer Deputy Beebe and the fifth grade students at LMCS Elementary School for completing 10-week Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program. A ceremony was held Thursday in the old gym for the 22 graduates of the program.
DARE is a police officer-led series of classroom lessons that teaches our fifth graders life lessons and valuable tools to resist peer pressure and live productive drug and violence-free lives. DARE Officer Beebe taught each 5th grade class teaching students these lifelong skills to help them lead safe and healthy lives. In addition to encouraging drug free lives and resisting peer pressure, they learn additional valuable skills such as effective communication, ways to be good citizens, safely reporting bullying and stress management.
DARE is the bridge to building trust and positive community-police relations offering students the opportunity to gain a trustworthy role model, develop a positive attitude toward law enforcement personnel, and acquire greater respect for the law.
