Sweet Sixteen
Mrs. Derr and Mrs. Paschal started a weekly lunch club this year called "The Sweet Sixteen". Sixteen African-American eighth graders, fifteen females and one male, were hand-selected and invited to become part of this group each Tusday from 12:30 to 1:00 in the PLC room. Our mission for this club is to foster positive relationships between these students and adults in our school. We want to provide a model for them to demonstrate how successful adults look and act to be contributing members of our community. This week Mrs. Black coordinated a guest speaker, Chaketa Mellett, a board member of Lee County Communities in Schools and a graduate of LCS, to speak about her journey and what it takes to be a leader. There are plans for the group to do a service project for our school and community in the month of February.
All I'm gonna say...
I know benchmarks have been a nightmare this week. I'm sorry! THANK YOU.
Congratulations!
Mr. Jaggers is LCS' Webpage of the Month winner for January! He will be honored Tuesday at the LCS' Board of Ed meeting held at Lee County High School in the board room beginning at 6:00.
Thank you Mrs. McCauley-Holland
Mrs. McCauley-Holland supplied ALL eighth graders with breakfast on Tuesday since the cafeteria was not able to serve after a two hour delay.
Great Opportunity!
Coach TJ and the boy's basketball team went to watch ECU play Campbell. What an awesome experience for our kids!
New STALLION!
Mrs. Shannon Wymer will join the Mustang Team as their ELA/Eng 1 teacher on Monday. Shannon lives in Apex and has taught English 1 to 9th graders for several years. She is finishing her master's degree in reading through NCSU.
We are all so appreciative for Mrs. Williams! She has done an outstanding job filling in while we looked for the right person to teach our children and join the family.
