Lexington CUSD #7 sends its condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Shirley Kramer, former Lexington CUSD #7 teacher, coach, and "Patriot Award" winner who passed away Monday at the age of 92.
Declared a "Lexington Legend" in 2004, Mrs. Kramer was a former physical education teacher and coach for the Lexington Schools, who known for being committed to the health and fitness of all her students. Mrs. Kramer was known by many as being instrumental in establishing girls' athletics in the Lexington Schools during the Title IX era. "She was firm and courageous in fighting for her girls' access and truly a team player who lead by example." On behalf of Minutemen Nation, we will be honoring Mrs. Kramer with a moment of silence before the Varsity Girls' Basketball game tomorrow night vs. Heyworth.

1/9/24 Athletics Update
Due to the predicted weather forecast at our junior high opponents schools this evening (volleyball @ DeeMack & Basketball @ Woodland) the decision has been made to cancel these contests. Both schools locally made the decision to not send their students out, so we didn't feel like it would be smart to send our students IN to that forecast.
Please see your individual TeamReach for more information.
