Thank you to everyone who helped make this week special for our students. We love seeing our Commodores celebrate the joy of reading!

WELCOME TO THE LES FAMILY
On Tuesday, February 17, the Lafayette County School Board voted to hire Lee Gray as the principal of Lafayette Elementary School. Mr. Gray will join the administrative staff effective July 1, 2026.
Gray received a Bachelor of Science from Mississippi State University and a Master of Education in Administration and Educational Leadership from Arkansas State University.

Thank you to the Oxford Garden Club for visiting Mrs. Porter’s 1st grade class and helping students make bird feeders. Our first graders are taking them home to help feed the birds and share a little kindness in their own backyards!
After the ice storm break, we’re excited to welcome our students back to school tomorrow and help them settle back into their routines.
Before the break, Ms. Sicks’ 2nd grade class made learning a little s’more fun—using s’more-themed activities to explore measurement and adjectives, then celebrating their hard work with a sweet treat!
We can’t wait to see our students back in classrooms filled with learning and smiles.
