March Teacher of the Month

Congratulations 
to the Lorena Middle School Teacher of the Month for March - Mr. Cory Smith!



Mr. Smith is not a regular teacher but he has made a huge difference on the middle school campus.  He works with all grade levels in various capacities, helping students and teachers. This is Mr. Smith's first year at Lorena Middle School.  Mr. Smith received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees from Abilene Christian University.  Mr. Smith's greatest passion is serving others through education and ministry. 

Below are portions of the nomination letters Mr. Smith received:

What a blessing it has been for teachers and students to work with Mr. Smith.  He is a positive male role model who many of our students need.  He goes above and beyond with his students and is always there for them.  He has developed a small life lesson class on Friday mornings before school and it has been very beneficial to those who attend.  He is always willing to help with a happy heart. When Mr. Smith works with our students, many don't even realize they are learning.  He gives them the tools they need to be successful when they face difficult situations.  Because of him, students are better equipped to make well-informed positive decisions.  Mr. Smith is an amazing addition to the Lorena Middle School staff. He is irreplaceable and I am so thankful he is part of our LMS team.
