LFO Renaissance - Spring Requirements
Basketball
LFO made the long trip to Bremen and brought home a hard-fought road win 48-41.
LFO continued its great play in region games, taking down Bremen 61-55.
Down at halftime, the Lady Warriors rallied with a big second half performance to complete the season sweep of the Ringgold.
The Tigers scored the first bucket, then LFO took over and never looked back in a 77-51 win at raucous David Moss Gym.
2022-2023 Child Nutrition
Parents/Guardians:
Meal charges negatively affect our school's budget and impede additional opportunities for all students. I am asking for your help in this area. If your student owes meal charges, please contact the cafeteria bookkeeper to make a payment.
If you feel your family would qualify for free or reduced priced meals and have not yet applied for the 2022-2023 school year, please use the following link to apply:

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Sherri Barnes, the cafeteria bookkeeper at sbarnes.lfo@catoosa.k12.ga.us .
