What an incredible week! We welcomed nearly 140 families to Lipscomb for our Thanksgiving Meal, hosted an engaging Career Day, and ended with a spectacular Movie Night. These events are a wonderful reminder of how hard our teachers, families, and community work together to create experiences our Lions will never forget.


A heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed time, energy, and enthusiasm to make these moments possible.


As we head into our final week before Thanksgiving Break, let’s keep our focus on strong attendance and engagement—then enjoy a well-deserved week of rest and relaxation before we return to finish the semester strong!
