The Bearcat Bulletin

Hey, Bearcat Family,

Every day that passes, I am more and more grateful to be the principal of Lamar. I know our school is in great hands with this faculty and staff. This issue of The Bearcat Bulletin will highlight our fist six weeks honor roll and perfect attendance award winners at Lamar!

With gratitude,

Ms. Bradford
