Lux has been open for three years, and is still going strong. Through academics, athletics, and activities, we have succeeded to the best of our abilities, and flew together as one. Lux has the strength and the dreams to fly right through the years. We fly together through the good and bad times and always see the positive side of negative situations. We are cautious of the path that lies ahead of us. Our experiences at Lux will truly help us fly through the years. Our memories will always be there to guide us through the obstacles that lie ahead. We work towards our goals and always aim for the stars. The 8th grade class was the first class to go through all three grades. Lux 8th gr ders experienced all three years and stood true to the school. They led their peers to the highest goals and dreams possible. They have flown through all three years and will soon take off, but will land again, and always remember this wonderful school.

As John Lux Middle School finishes off its third year, we can look back and se e all that we have done in this school. We have helped out the community through donations to the Malone Center. We have had enough heart to give some money to the penny drive during the holiday seasons. Besides helping out, Lux students also flew through their sports, often finishing out on top. We have had fun at our dances and our fun-nights. On top of it all, Lux students have shown off their academic achievements by excelling in the classroom and showing a good attitude towards their school. Way to go Lux and keep it up!

This year is the last year for the eighth grade students at John Lux Middle School. Their teachers have prepared the eighth graders for their long awaited high school experience. The eighth graders have been strong role models for their younger peers. The eighth graders' sixth grade year was one to remember; Lux' s first year. During that time they looked forward to meeting new people. In the seventh grade they felt more comfortable in their atmosphere. Now they feel honored to be the first class to fly through all three years.
