Merry Christmas!

LHS Graduate Visits Entrepreneur Class
LHS 2014 Graduate came back to LHS this week to visit with Mr. Hill's Entrepreneur students about a college degree in Business at the TTU Rawls College of Business. She told students the ins and outs of a business degree at TTU which offers many opportunities for students, including studying abroad to finish up a TTU degree. She explained that the Rawls College of Business is like its own family with help for students in every matter including a therapist for tough times, scholarships, organizations and friendships, and more. Thank you, Mr. Hill, for offering so many opportunities to your students! Thank you, Miss Contreras, for coming back to LHS to make a difference!
Cocoa & Campfires
Capitol Elementary brought the most food items in the LISD Bill's BackPack Food Drive Challenge earlier this month. Capitol students brought granola bars, while other campuses were responsible for pop tarts, oatmeal, ramen noodles, and PB crackers. Every Capitol student was treated to a Capitol Cocoa and Campfire Treat! And thank goodness they celebrated before the weather turned cold! Great job Capitol Kids!
Writing & Reading
These LMS students were caught using their writing and reading skills last week in Ms. Edwards' Reading class. They were in the Christmas spirit and were making Christmas cards for nursing home residents. Ms. Edwards will deliver the cards for them to make lots of people merry and bright! We love that our students care for others.
Lobos on Air
Mr. Lawson's students share the last Lobos on Air for 2023. You can tell they have had a great time while learning. They also had a great time adding in the bloopers. This is a great class that all LHS students are invited to take!
Jingle Jog!
Remember the Turkey Trot in November? Well, Capitol PE teacher Mrs. Kristy Sanders held races in PE and winning classes ran a Jingle Jog down the hallway! The students always hear, "No running in the hall," so they thought they were really doing something! That's funny! https://www.facebook.com/CapitolElementary/videos/788533666369267

You can be a part of history!

LHS Cheer Heading to State!
LHS Cheer Coach Lilian Northcutt shares that the Cheer Squad performed in a show off event at Estacado High School over the weekend. This performance helped them prepare for their state competition. Coach Northcutt says, "We will compete at the UIL State Competition during Christmas break on January 5th at 3:22 at the Fort Worth Convention Center." This is exciting for our girls! We are waiting with anticipation!
