WORLD LANGUAGE EXTRAVAGANZA
The LRMS World Language Department presents Extravaganza 2025, a celebration of learning foreign languages and appreciating foreign cultures. Students in the World Language program display their talents in the language they have learned, whether it be French, German or Spanish.

We have a range of acts that include a cooking show, singing and dancing and maybe a little bit of crowd participation. The event takes place:
 May 21st from 6:00 - 8:00 in the LRMS Gymnasium and Cafeteria.

We will offer refreshments from cultures that are represented in the show! We ask that if you would like to help us with this event by providing food and drink, please contact Mrs. Villagomez [email protected] for more details on how you can help us make this night EXTRAVAGANT!

The event is free to attend and if you have any questions please reach out to Mark Grover, department chair of World Languages at [email protected]

On Saturday, May 10th Prince William County Student Activities will be holding a Sports Fair at the Kelly Leadership Buildng from 10-1 pm. This is a great time for 8th graders to get information about High School Athletics, tryout dates, and other information that will help support the transition into high school this upcoming fall. Please join us for food trucks, music, and more!

Rising 6th and 7th Grade Families, Prince William County Public Schools will be moving to a new way of turning in your Athletic Physical and completing other components in order to try out for an Athletic Team. We are very excited to announce our partnership with Arbiter Sports which allows all families to turn in their Athletic Physicals completely online, "Tiny Scanner" or any other free application can be used to create a PDF with your phone. Families will create a Free Account, one time and one per family, to upload all documents and even select which Athletic Teams they would like to try out for! You are able to update your account throughout the school year if your student decides to try out for another team. Please head to our school website (lakeridgems.pwcs.edu/our_school/sports_information) for a step-by-step guide on how to create your account and begin the process.

Virginia High School League and the State of Virginia have recently passed a new law/bill that states all Athletic Physicals are valid for 14 months from the date of the physical. Due to this change, Virginia High School League has required an updated version of the Athletic Physical to be uploaded to Arbiter Sports, it will notify you as the 14-month mark approaches. This is the only version we are allowed to accept, please DO NOT use former versions of the Athletic Physical. The older versions have 4 pages to complete while the new version has 6 pages to complete. We understand this is a new process for everyone, please be proactive and make the free account now and immediately upload your Physical after completion this summer.

This is new to all participants, please be patient as we work through some of the preliminary issues!

 

Monday will be a “B” day.
