Staying One Step Ahead
Lux has what it takes to stay one step ahead. The students ~t John Lux Middle School show leadership and strong academic involvement. Lux students stay one step ahead in athletics, the classroom, and at home. We strive for excellence in all that we do.
As a student body, we overcome all the obstacles we face through effort and cooperation. We are true to each other and strong, yet still maintain a sense of humor. This is what keeps us that one step ahead. Students and teachers at Lux serve as role models for all grades and all schools '. Eighth graders have guided the sixth graders, stood by the seventh graders, and now, as eighth graders, can stand alone.
We are the future!

The challenges we faced were easily met with equal strength, patience, and courage. Lux students care and . support each other. Hat Day proved these qualities of Lux.
Lux students strive to do the very best academically, socially, and on the playing field. Lux sports and activities have always displayed our ever willing effort. From basketball games to band concerts we have always performed to the best of our abilities. With the many victories Lux has won, we have come to accept and learn from our losses.
We, as Lux students, try our hardest to stay one step ahead in all that we do, whether separate or together, for we are the Lux Lightning!

Seventh Grade Has Taken Their Step
The seventh grade had a great year! The seventh grade teams enjoyed special days planned for them by their teachers, including Treasure Island Day, Egypt Day, trips to Arbor Day Lodge and the Icebox, a local ice rink. Most seventh graders enjoyed these special days which helped them learn in a fun and educational way. The days included activities such as arts and crafts, movies, fun assignments and games all relating to the topic set for the day. The seventh graders did not just get these days, they had to earn them by working hard in their classes. - Trips out of school were very fun. Students enjoyed the experience of learning out of the school environment. These trips also made students more interested in what they were learning. Overall, the seventh grade year was GREAT with the students and teachers working together.

A Step Ahead · Of The Game
One of the best things about Lux is its sports. If you go to Lux, you don't have to worry about a lack of sports that you can join. You can join cross country, volleyball, flag football, basketball, wrestling, and/or you can go to the weight room after school. The weight room is a great place to work out after school. In the weight room people can ride bikes, row, jump rope, sit and reach, use the steppers, lift weights, and do push ups and sit ups. Some even go there to talk to friends while they work out. If you can't join a sport or just don't want to, your physical education class covers a wide variety of sports. So, if you're athletic, Lux is a great place to be!

Run For The Gummy Worms!
That was the slogan for the Cross Country Team from Lux Middle School for their second year. Approximately 45 runners participated throughout the season both in practice and in Saturday morning meets. Both the boys team and the girls team placed 1st or 2nd at every meet. Friday practice always centered around relays and partaking of gummy worms in preparation for Saturday meets. Coach Mercure and her son Coach Tito (Nick Mercure) enjoyed the 97 season and thank all the members of the team for their hard work!!!

7th Grade Volleyball
The 7th graders, like the 8th graders, did a good job! On Fridays the 7th and 8th grade volleyball teams would get together and practice. They would play a game called 'King of the Court' where you play 3 on 3 on half a volleyball court. They would play until one team made a point and then the winners would play another team. The object of this game was to see which team could last the longest as the 'King'.
