"Landstuhl Elementary Middle School (LEMS) is a kindergarten through eighth grade Department of Defense Dependents School (DoDDS) located in Landstuhl, Germany. LEMS services the dependents of Department of Defense (DOD) personnel and contractors and is part of the Kaiserslautern District of DoDDS. Buildings LEMS has a total of three buildings, two permanent and one temporary. The main building was originally constructed in 1955 and has been given additions ever since. The most recent of these is a 6½ million dollar addition completed in April 2008. The one remaining temporary building is now set to be torn down to make way for a new gymnasium, raising the total number of gymnasiums to three. Accreditation LEMS is fully accredited by the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA CASI).Institution Summary, AdvancED, Retrieved 2012-07-08 Every five years the school is visited by the NCA CASI to assess the success of the school's individual school improvement plan. The professional and auxiliary staff members at school complete an in-depth report which addresses one affective and one cognitive area that the school has chosen to address in an outcomes based school improvement plan. This self-study is submitted to the NCA CASI for their review and evaluation. In addition to the accreditation visits, annual reports are submitted to the NCA CASI, which serves as an update for the original self-study. The process of self-evaluation is continuous. Extracurricular activities LEMS offers a various number of clubs for students to join. *Technology Club *Junior Leadership Seminar (JLS) *Foreign Language Club *Story Hour *Brain Bowl *Student Council *military history club *National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) *Jazz Band *Drama Club *Math Counts *German Study Club *Yearbook Club Student government The student government of LEMS is made up entirely of LEMS students grades 6-8 and one adult sponsor. In the student council (or STUCO), the entire 6-8 student body (the middle school) selects a STUCO president from the eighth grade class. They then select a vice president from either the seventh or eighth grade class. Each grade also selects one student from their own grade to represent their grade as a whole, who becomes that grade's senator. Each seminar then selects a representative from their class to act as their seminar class representative. Additional student representatives are the secretary and the parliamentarian. All of their offices are elected by use of secret ballots. Once one is elected, the elected person holds the office for the duration of the year except for special circumstances, such as an unexpected move or promotion. If one so wishes, one may run again the next year, as STUCO offices are open to all LEMS students grades 6-8. The student council supports the students in such ways as organizing dances, spirit weeks, and other miscellaneous events during the school year.

"Shawn Kelly is an animator of movies and was a co-founder of the company Animation Mentor, an online animation school with student/mentor relationships at its core. Life and career Born in Sonoma County, Calif., and raised in Petaluma, Kelly set his sights on working at Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) at age five when the movie Star Wars hit the big screen. Under the tutelage of animators Bill Hennes and John Root, he studied drawing and computer software throughout high school, attended community college, and Academy of Art University in San Francisco. A summer internship at ILM introduced Kelly to another influential mentor, animation director Wayne Gilbert. It was through Gilbert that Kelly realized that he wasn’t learning what he needed at school. Kelly left the academy in 1996 for a job as a character animator at former video game and educational company Presage Software, but continued his studies with Gilbert twice a week. In 1998, Kelly fulfilled his lifelong dream and landed a job at ILM. Since that time, he has worked on numerous films including War of the Worlds, for which he animated tripods and probes; Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, where he helped develop and animate the vulture droids and animated Yoda in a pivotal sword fight; and Rango, where he was the Lead Animator for both the Mayor of Dirt and the Spirit of the West. Kelly also worked as Lead Animator on all five Transformers movies. Kelly’s credits feature 29 films including Hulk, the Star Wars prequels, AI: Artificial Intelligence, and The Avengers. Because Kelly realized his dream to animate films with the help of three mentors who took a personal interest in his career, he became convinced that animation lovers everywhere should have the same opportunity, and he co-founded Animation Mentor, an online animation school with student/mentor relationships at its core. Kelly works with Bobby Beck, Animation Mentor’s CEO and President, and cofounder Carlos Baena to help define and shape the school’s overall direction. Kelly balances his Animation Mentor role with his work as a senior animator at Industrial Light & Magic. Kelly lives in California with his wife Jen, and writes short films. Awards *Kelly received the 2007 award for the ‘Best Single Visual Effect of the Year’ by the Visual Effects Society (VES), an organization dedicated to advancing the arts, sciences and the application of visual effects. Kelly’s winning effect was for the desert highway sequence of Transformers, in which Bonecrusher skates through traffic, destroys a bus, and fights Optimus Prime. *Kelly has developed curriculum and taught at the Academy of Art University and was on the team that earned the 2000 CLIO award for Best Computer Animation for a Pepsi/Star Wars “Alien” campaign.
