2025 BCE Challenge Leaderboard |
Will LSM '16 overtake LSM '09 and take back the trophy? Will LSM '23 rally to keep the cup? Or will there be a surprise ending?
Just one month to go! The 2025 Best Class Ever Challenge ends September 15th.
Winners of the Most Community-Engaged Class, Most Generous Class, and Official Best Class Ever challenges will be announced at Homecoming on October 8th.
May the Real Best Class Win! |
Did your class BCE Challenge points decrease this month?!! It's likely because class members didn't renew their LSM Alumni Association (LSMAA memberships) in July. Get your people! Remind them that LSMAA membership is a beautiful way to enjoy the benefits and fun of continued connection with your LSM family... and to pay forward the LSM experience for other Southern Maryland leaders. We sincerely appreciate your support! Click HERE to join LSMAA. |
