I think Ms. Abbe would make an excellent Teacher of the Month!  She is sweet, kind, loving, caring, and forgiving.  Ms. Abbe is doing an AMAZING job at her first year at Lorena Middle School.  She is more than a teacher to a lot of her kids in her classes.  Ms. Abbe reminds me of spring.  For example, when times get cold and rough, like winter, she is always there right after to make you smile - just like spring.  By the way - Ms. Abbe ROCKS at teaching!

Congratulations Ms. Abbe!

Christmas Holiday

Lorena ISD will be out for Christmas Break, December 23rd through January 6th.  Students will return to school on Tuesday, January 7th.  There will be continued construction in the back of the school throughout the holidays.  When we return in January, our modified morning drop off and traffic flow will be in place.

From all of us at Lorena Middle School, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Construction Update

Lorena Middle School will begin its portion of construction the week of December 16th.  The first phase of the project will require the demolition of the concrete recess area.  We ask that no vehicles park in the back of the school during school hours, beginning December 16th, as there will be various construction trucks in and out of the area.

Morning drop off and afternoon bus line will continue to be located in the back of the building, although it will be slightly modified. Please see the picture for more detailed information.  Hard copies of the information below are available from the Lorena Middle School Office.  Please contact us with any questions you may have. Thank you in advance for your patience and support.  Great things are happening in the Lorena ISD and at Lorena Middle School.

You may reach me at the Middle School at 857-4621.

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!!

Mrs. Campbell deserves to be Teacher of the Month.  Both of my students were so ready for high school because of Mrs. Campbell.  

Not only does Mrs. Campbell teach students how to be strong math students, she teaches them to think for themselves and push themselves to do better.  Mrs. Campbell also requires students to be prepared and organized for learning. She is patient and understanding when working Mrs. Campbell teaches multiple ways to solve problems, knowing that there isn't just one way to correctly work a math problem.

Mrs. Campbell has taught two of our children, and we hope our third child will be able to have her too. Again, Mrs. Campbell is very deserving of Teacher of the Month.
