Monday through Friday, October 26th through October 30th, is National Drug Prevention Week also known as Red Ribbon Week.  While we stress making healthy choices throughout the year, now and in the future, Red Ribbon Week is a week selected to focus on saying no to drugs. Messages from our school counselor will be shared throughout the week. Each day there is a theme to coordinate with our message of saying no.

Dare to Be a Reader

October 26th thru November 1st 

In conjunction with Red Ribbon Week, Lorena Middle School is hosting its First Annual "Dare to be a Reader" Read-a-Thon.  Our goal is to create a life-long love of reading in our students. We want to encourage students to see the value of reading now and in the future.  Teachers have been sharing what they are reading with students too.  By encouraging reading, we are also encouraging achievement. We also hope to raise funds to build classroom libraries and purchase student incentives.  Students will  bring home information packets on October 20th.  Students will gather sponsors for reading the week of October 26th. 

Sponsors may pledge per minute or make a one time donation.  Sponsors who live far away, or wish to use a credit card for their pledge, may even make a donation through the GoFundMe account set up for the Lorena MS Read-a-Thon.

Thank you for supporting students at Lorena Middle School.

October Teacher of the Month


Congratulations to the Lorena Middle School Teacher of the Month for October - Mrs. Sherri Hennig!

Mrs. Hennig is the hardest worker I know.  She is dedicated to the students and staff at LMS.  She is always willing to help, students and teachers as well.  Finally, she does a great job communicating with the teachers when we need reminders for our students and communicates well with parents too. Mrs. Hennig is so deserving of being recognized as Teacher of the Month.
