We are proud that our 5th Grade LEGO League Team recently won the South Dakota State Champion’s Award and qualified for the International FIRST LEGO League (FLL) Competition to be held at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in June. This has been a tremendous robotics season for all of our robotics students, and we want to thank their families and our community partners for their support.
As we have experienced in our proud history of athletics and extracurricular activities, success can be expensive. Our students and their families recently met and discussed the estimated costs associated with travel, along with fundraising opportunities. At this time, we are asking for your help in assisting our school district to offset these expenses. Our goal is to raise $10,000.
If you or your organization would like to contribute to the 5th Grade LEGO League Team’s trip to Massachusetts, we welcome you to drop off or mail your donation to the district office at Central Lyon. If donating with a check, please note in the memo: FLL. For tax purposes, documentation can be provided for your contribution. Sponsors will be recognized on the team’s marketing materials.
If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the school.

Elementary students at Central Lyon are taught that our four core expectations are to Respect All, Offer Help, Accept Responsibility, and Reach Expectations (ROAR). Staff acknowledge students following those expectations by giving them “ROAR cards” to point out what they were doing well. The cards are collected in a tote by the office. The cards are counted and six ROAR cards are drawn to recognize students who have demonstrated our Central Lyon ROAR expectations during that month. These students are known as “Lion Kids of Character” and are awarded a certificate to thank them for demonstrating our core expectations. Congratulations to these Lion Kids of Character! Way to ROAR!
Congratulations to the March Kids of Character! Way to work hard and ROAR!
