From the Principal

We hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. There is so much to be grateful for at Lamkin Elementary and we are thankful to work with your children each day. November was a month full of fun celebrations and events.

- Lamkin welcomed veterans on Veterans Day with a special choir performance .

- Our Grandparents Day was a special time for our students to perform for our guests. The grandparents were beaming with pride.

- Thank you very much for your support of our annual fall bookfair. Your support of the bookfair raised $4,000 for our library at Lamkin.

December brings a lot of excitement and learning. Please read below for details about what is happening at Lamkin in December.
