Congratulations to the following athletes on making the 2024-25 Lafayette Boys/Girls Golf Team.

🌟 We're proud to recognize four upcoming Senior students from Lafayette High School who represented North East Power at the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in Washington D.C.! 🇺🇸✨ Anna Cooper, Mary Madison Kelley, Drew Knight, and Jake Leary explored the nation's capital, visited monuments, memorials, and met with Senators – what an incredible opportunity to learn and grow! 🏛️📜

📚 The Literacy Bus made a special visit to Lafayette Upper Elementary's summer school program! 🚍✨ Students had the opportunity to choose books to take home and participated in some fun games. Daily reading can significantly improve a child’s reading comprehension, helping them become more proficient and confident readers. Consistent practice enhances vocabulary, understanding of text structure, and critical thinking skills, laying a strong foundation for academic success. A heartfelt thank you to Cara Buffington for bringing the Literacy Bus to Lafayette Upper Elementary. This support will help nurture the educational growth and imagination of our students. ❤️📖

Our administrative team spent time reflecting on the district's mission and continuing to incorporate those values within the plans for the upcoming school year. They enjoyed time away from their desks and collaborated in a different setting building teamwork, one strike at a time! Dr. Tillman inspired the team through his powerful message on "Purpose."
