ARMT+ Extravaganza Held at LHS


Friday, April 19th was an exciting day for the middle school students of Luverne.  The students have been participating in a pen pal project to improve their writing skills all year long.  They have been writing the middle school students of Banks Middle School in Pike County.  On Friday, the Banks students came over to Luverne to meet their pen pals and participate in a massive ARMT+ review activity. Students from each school were divided into groups.  The students rotated to 19 different tables that each reviewed different ARMT+ skills in reading, math, and science.  Parents, teachers and high school volunteers managed the tables.  The students had the chance to review testing skills, meet their pen pals, and receive door prizes. After the review, students had a chance to socialize and get to know their pen pals. The students enjoyed all of the activities.  The ARMT+ Extravaganza turned out to be fun and educational for everyone involved.   Kudos to the organizations that contributed, Ms. James and others for organizing, and LHS for hosting!
