LES Parent of the Year - Mrs. Toni Ewing

She is most recognized for her coordination of the monthly Sunshine Cart. We are grateful to have Mrs. Ewing as an LES parent.
LUES Parent of the Year- Mrs. Heather Humphries
Mrs. Humphries is a familiar and valued part of the LUES community. A former teacher, she now supports our school as a long-term substitute and is always willing to help wherever needed.

LMS Parent of the Year- Mrs. Sara Nowell
Mrs. Nowell is always willing to lend a helping hand at LMS. She cares deeply—not only about her own children, but about the success and well-being of all students at LMS. Her positive attitude, willingness to help, and genuine support do not go unnoticed. We are truly grateful to have Mrs. Nowell as a part of our school community!

Glow, Grow, and Go! 6th Grade Shines During State Test Prep!
Our 6th-grade students have been gearing up for state assessments with creativity and fun.
Dr. Priest’s math classes lit up the room with a Glow Day Escape Room, where students worked through five exciting challenges under black lights—putting their math skills to the test in a fun and engaging way.
Meanwhile, Ms. Liberti, Ms. Bruno, and Ms. Pittman’s ELA classes helped students kick off testing with a “Smart Water Station,” reminding everyone to Stay Sharp and Drink Smart as they hydrated their way through last week’s ELA tests.
Next up: Math testing today! Let’s cheer on our students as they finish strong.










Teamwork in Action!
A big shoutout to Mr. Larry Campbell, driver of Bus 226, for going above and beyond! After finishing his route, he voluntarily jumped in to help with traffic at LUES—without even being asked. His positive energy and willingness to step in made a big difference.
Thank you, Mr. Campbell, for being a true team player and setting a shining example of dedication and service!


Making Math Review Fun!
As state assessments approach, our students are staying sharp with interactive and engaging math review activities! One class is working through a 20-question practice test in rounds of five—Girls vs. Boys style—with a quick game of skee-ball after each round to keep things lively and competitive.
Another class added a musical twist to the review, using songs to energize learning and make the math even more fun and memorable.
It’s a great way to mix focus and creativity as we wrap up the school year!



We cordially invite you to the retirement reception honoring the 2025 LCSD retirees.


Full-Circle Creativity
High school senior Jude Ridling returned to Mrs. Whiteaker’s 4th-grade QUEST class, where she was once a student, to lead a two-week art project she designed herself. With help from Anna Moreno, Jude inspired young students and shared her passion for art and learning.
Thank you, Jude and Anna, for giving back in such a meaningful way!
