We request that the President's Back to School speech on personal responsibility be shown in a school assembly at each of the Lake Mills public schools during the week of Sept. 8th. We feel this historic address strongly echoes and supports our school's mission statement, and viewing it in this setting would help motivate our students at the start of the school year.
