LMS Parent Teacher Organization "Armchair" Fundraiser

The "Armchair" Fundraiser involves no buying or selling!!  However, Lorena Middle School's PTO sill needs to raise funds.  ALL the money you donate will go directly to support projects at Lorena Middle School.  

Vestibule Entry

This year, we are raising money to have a mural painted on the brand new entry to the cafeteria.  This area is the entry each morning for students.  This area is the first thing visitors see when attending events in the gym.  A new mural will the entrance more inviting and show our Leopard Pride.  Additional money raised will be donated towards continuing to build LMS Chromebook Labs.

STAAR Testing

STAAR Testing is April 20, 21 and 22 at LMS

The next round of STAAR tests are coming up.  Please note the days your student will be testing:

Students will have 4 hours to complete testing.  While we love having guests for lunches most days during the school year, we will have a closed campus on STAAR testing days.  If you bring food for your child, you may leave it in the office and we will make sure they pick it up before lunch.  If you have questions, please contact the LMS office at 254.857.4621.  Thank you for your continued support.

April Teacher of the Month

Congratulations to the Lorena Middle School Teacher of the Month for April - Coach Kyle Crawford!

Coach Crawford has been nominated and selected as Lorena Middle School's April Teacher of the Month.  Coach Crawford teaches 7th grade Texas History at Lorena Middle School. He also coaches at the middle school and at the high school.  This is his 2nd year in education and his 1st year at the middle school campus.   

Below is a portion of the nomination letter Coach Crawford received:

Coach Crawford is AWESOME!  He has such a high energy level and really connects with the students, even those who are not in his class.  Whether it is teaching, coaching or morning duty, Coach Crawford brings enthusiasm to every aspect of his job.  The students are greeted with a smile, jokes and high fives.  It is obvious that he cares about the kids and works diligently to create a positive environment for them to learn.  Coach Crawford's attitude is infectious and he is a wonderful role model.  Coach Crawford is an asset to the Lorena Middle School Family and deserves to be teacher of the month.
