🎉 BIG congratulations to the Lewis County C-1 PreK Program! 🎉
Our PreK program has been recognized by the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education for demonstrating quality in early childhood education.
The Quality Assurance Report (QAR) sets high standards for early childhood programs across Missouri, and we’re proud that LCC-1’s PreK program is one of the first in our region to earn this recognition.
👏 This accomplishment reflects the hard work, care, and dedication of our amazing educators, paraprofessionals, and bus drivers who impact the lives of our smallest Cougars every single day. 🐾
Last night, we were proud to recognize and celebrate this incredible team at the school board meeting.
Thank you for helping our youngest learners start their journey strong! 💛

We were excited to welcome two community leaders to visit with our students today — Bob Corbin, Mayor of LaGrange, and John Roach, City Administrator.
They met with students to talk about concerns students have noticed in their community and how citizens can work together to address them. Our students shared ideas and worked through the civic process of identifying problems and thinking through solutions.
Students came up with some great ideas, including organizing a community trash clean-up day and helping meet the needs of the local Blessing Box. They were also invited to attend an upcoming city council meeting to continue the conversation and see local government in action.
We are incredibly grateful to Mayor Corbin and Mr. Roach for taking time to come to our school, listen to students, and partner with them in making their community better. Experiences like this show students that their voices matter and that civic engagement starts right where they live!
