For those who celebrate—Happy Easter!
It’s hard to believe we’re in the final stretch of the school year—and it’s a big one. Between STAAR testing, field trips, musicals, award ceremonies, community events, and end-of-year celebrations, our calendar is packed with moments that highlight just how far we’ve come. Let’s stay focused, present, and finish strong together.
As we look ahead to next year, we also need your help. Please take a moment to complete our Intent to Return Survey. Your response plays a critical role in how we staff, plan, and prepare for a strong start to the 2025–2026 school year.
🌟 Volunteer Appreciation Week 🌟
I want to take a moment to thank the incredible volunteers who make Lipscomb such a special place. From our crossing guards and Watch D.O.G.S. to the Peace Pantry team, PTA and SBDM leaders, field trip chaperones, and book fair helpers—you show up, give generously, and lead with heart.
Your pride in this school is powerful, and the impact you’ve made is felt in every corner of our campus. Thank you for your time, your energy, and your unwavering support. We’re better because of you.
— Mr. Carter
Pride Member of the Week: Ms. Morse!
This week, we’re proud to recognize Ms. Morse, our incredible Pre-K 4 teacher, as the Pride Member of the Week! Her journey to Lipscomb started by chance—but turned into something meant to be.
“The first time I came to Lipscomb it was by accident. I was a substitute teacher and should have been at a different school. I became a permanent sub and was offered a teaching position the next school year. That was fourteen years ago. I believe I did not come to Lipscomb by accident. Lipscomb is where I am meant to be.”
We’re excited to share that Lipscomb will be participating in an Earth Day Costume Donation Drive hosted by our Disney Musicals in Schools teaching artist and her non-profit, Theatrical Threads.
What We’re Collecting:
Dance and theatre attire
Costume pieces to support arts programs in other Title I schools across DFW
Additional Impact:
Students will learn about textile waste through an Earth Day lesson (materials will be provided).
Donated items will benefit local schools and promote sustainability.
In September, Theatrical Threads will return to provide Halloween costumes for Lipscomb students in need!
Lipscomb will be hosting our own Recruitment Table at Spring Fling, the Junius Heights Neighborhood Block Party and we are looking for volunteers to help our at our table!
Also, we ask for your help to support the PTA by signing up to bake goods or take a shift at our student-run bake sale. We’re aiming for 3 students and at least 1 adult per shift. The kids do the selling—adults just help collect payments (cash or Venmo). If it rains, the bake sale will be canceled.

Dear Lipscomb Family,
Lipscomb Elementary on Friday, May 9, 2025. We are excited to have Ninja Nation coming out during specials. Students will get the opportunity to participate in the ninja obstacle course.
This course has dual lanes and can be set up to best fit our group, to accommodate a wide range of ages and abilities. They will set up racing lanes, where both lanes have the same obstacles, and participants can “race” through the course. This option includes the famous Curved Wall - a definite fan favorite!
This course is 125 ft. long, 12 ft. wide and 12 ft. tall. We encourage all students to bring water bottles.
Mark your calendars and let’s have a fun filled day on May 9, 2025!
