this spring and summer.

8th Grade Graduation

Date---Set for Saturday,

May 22nd

Let’s start with Eighth Grade

Graduation. This year for the

first time, Lonedell will hold its

graduation ceremony on Satur-

day, May 22nd at 4pm. As always

we made it a priority to NOT

schedule our graduation ceremo-

nies on the same evening as St.

Clair High School, which is set

for Thursday, May 20, 2010. We

first planned on holding ours,

Friday, May 21st, until we learned

that for the first time (at least to

my knowledge) that St. Clair has

a rain date, which is also May 21st;

meaning that they will not move

their ceremony inside in the event

of rain, but will reschedule it

altogether. I believe this has to

do with the size of their graduat-

one in the gymnasium, but re-

gardless, it affects us tremen-

dously as we schedule our cere-

Lonedell R-14 School District received “Distinction in Performance” Award-

Forty-five school districts in south-central Missouri who earned the ―Distinction in Perform-

ance‖ award were recently honored by state education officials. The Lonedell R-14 School

District was one of the districts receiving the award for 2008-09. The Distinction in Perform-

ance award is one of the state’s most prestigious honors for local school districts. It is based

on the district’s performance relative to student performance standards that are used to de-

termine state accreditation through the Missouri School Improvement Program. In order to

earn distinction in performance, districts must meet the majority of these performance stan-

dards at either a high or significantly improved level.

Lonedell’s administration is extremely proud of the teachers, staff, and students who have worked so hard to receive this award for the 2008-2009 school year.
