Holiday Helping Hands

     Dear Lorena Middle School Parents,

It is hard to believe, but the holidays are already around the corner! With that in mind, there are a few local resources that offer help to our families in need during the Christmas season.  If your family is in need of assistance this year to provide food or gifts such as clothes, shoes, or coats for your children, you can contact the school and ask for the school counselor. You may reach me at the Middle School at 857-4621.  

Please contact me by Monday, December 3^rd so there is enough time to make plans. 

We hope to help make this holiday season a wonderful one for you and your family.  

November Teacher of the Month

Congratulations to Mrs. Peevey!  Mrs. Peevey has been nominated and selected as the Lorena Middle School Teacher of the Month for November.   Mrs. Peevey teaches 7^th and 8^th grade Theater Arts.  This is Mrs. Peevey’s 2^nd year at Lorena Middle School. 

Below is a portion from the nomination letter  Mrs. Peevey received:

It is not often in Texas that we take our kids to Saturday, Sunday or 6am practices without it being sports related, nor are kids excited about practices at these times.  However, there is an exception to that rule.  We took our daughter to these practices and saw her passion for theater growing.  These amazing kids worked hard and it paid off with first place medals from the UIL competition for One Act Play.

Our daughter has chosen to continue in Theater this year because of Mrs. Peevey.  This year, the program continues to be excellent. The Theater II students performed a play on a difficult topic about using social media in front of their peers and teachers.  When the curtain closed, I was amazed!  The kids were incredible!  Many parents commented about how great the performance was. Lots of students told their parents about the play and many others wished they could have seen it too.  So while the performance was great, the message was delivered as well.

I attribute this program’s success to the hard work, dedication and love that Mrs. Peevey has put into it.  I am simply amazed at what she has accomplished in such a short period of time.  Mrs. Peevey has done a wonderful job and I look forward to seeing what’s next from Lorena Middle School Theater.

Congratulations Mrs. Peevey!!
