LUES GOLDEN TEACHER AWARD
LUES kicked off a new weekly staff recognition initiative at LUES. Principal Janine Lee and Asst. Principal Nickie Malone surprised Savannah Armistead, one of our amazing second-year teachers, with our very first Golden Ticket!
In just her second year of teaching, she is already doing incredible things! From tracking student data and using it to drive instruction to supporting fellow teachers and giving 100% to her students each day, she is making a difference at LUES. She is also the one who helped us get the Golden Teacher Award started.
We appreciate all she does for our students, her colleagues, and our school. She is a wonderful example of what it means to be Anchored to Excellence!

Great job to our sixth graders for creating this opportunity for their classmates!
