LMS Pep Rally

Each home football game, Lorena Middle School hosts a pep rally to cheer on our teams.  LMS pep rallies will be held in the MS gymnasium.  We do ask that parents who wish to attend enter through the front of the building as our buses are parked and ready to load in the back.  On pep rally days, we will be on a slightly different schedule, shortening each class a bit.  First lunch begins at 11:15.  Second lunch begins at 11:50.

Lorena Middle School home games for the 15-16 school year are:

September 10th - LaVega
September 24th - Troy
October 1st - Gatesville
October 15th - Rusk (A-Teams only)
November 5th - Fairfield

Lorena Middle School Murals

Thank you to Lorena PTO, we couldn't have done it without you.  While the school was closed for the week of July 4th, we had our murals painted.  Now when our students, community and visitors enter the new portion of the building, all will see our Lorena Pride shine brightly.  Above is a short video that shows the work of Patterson Design from start to finish.  These two guys were professional and did a fantastic job!  Again, thank you to everyone who donated to LMS PTO to bring this project to fruition.
