Lively Middle School
May 27, 2022
Greetings Falcon Nation,
Thank you for a wonderful last day of school! Students, teachers, and parents helped to create a memorable moment today and it was nothing short of incredible. I enjoyed seeing our students and teachers have fun. A very special thank you to our Lively PTSA and parent volunteers who helped clean-up, monitor students, and serve snacks. Your continued support is why Lively is a great place to be! It takes a village, and I am forever grateful and honored to walk alongside you as we teach our students together!

Yearbooks are $30.00 and we can accept cash or check from families when they pick up their yearbooks. Once the yearbooks have arrived, we will notify the families that ordered them. The pick-up time and location will be shared once the yearbooks are delivered.

This last week of school students reflected on their year through a variety of different activities such as Rose, Bud, Thorn and our last circle time.
Civic Engagement Capstone Fair
Thanks to all of our students who presented their Civic Engagement Capstone Projects this Tuesday at our Capstone Fair. We had many parents and classes come to the fair and received so many great comments about our student’s work! Special thanks goes to Ms. Mau, Ms. Reavis, and Ms. Tipton for supporting our students in their work. After the fair, our Capstone Scholars enjoyed a trip to the park where we enjoyed the beautiful day! Check out some pictures from the Capstone Fair below. Lively Falcons are truly limitless!
