Q4 Week 30 Mar 31-Apr 4

What a weekend!

Thank you to the nearly 200 people who came out to Battle of the Bands on Saturday. What an incredible display of what community means—and has always meant—to Lipscomb Elementary. From alumni to former parents to neighborhood families, it was powerful to see so many faces in the crowd whose connection to Lipscomb remains strong, even without current students. Your continued support is part of what makes this place special.

If you couldn’t make it this year, you definitely missed out—but we’re already looking forward to an even bigger celebration next time!

We’re also thrilled to share that the Lipscomb House System is is officially here (more details below). This is a new chapter in campus culture, and we invite you to join us as we weave it into the heart of our school.

A reminder that registration for the 2025–2026 school year opens this Tuesday for all students Pre-K through 5th grade.

Let’s keep building together.

The White Rock Spring Games, presented by Comerica Bank, are back.

The White Rock Spring Games, which over the past ten years has brought thousands of East Dallas families together to raise almost $300,000 for local schools, returns again this spring to Bishop Lynch High School on Sunday, May 4th for another exciting afternoon of fun and friendly competition. Four-person teams from Grades K thru 5 will compete in five different events and help to raise money for their respective schools.

Registration fees for each 4-member team is $120 (but Lipscomb will be covered!) , all of which will be directed to the parents’ association of the participant’s school.

Huge thanks to the East Dallas Exchange, and especially our school representatives Matthew Wood and Steve Walker, for believing in our campus and its future. Excellence, Not Without Effort! 💛🦁

We’re proud to recognize a group of outstanding staff members who have been nominated for the 2025-2026 ASPIRE award. These individuals go above and beyond each day to serve our students, support their colleagues, and represent the heart of William Lipscomb Elementary.

We’re thrilled to share that William Lipscomb Elementary is launching the House System, inspired by the Ron Clark Academy! This dynamic model is designed to build community, strengthen student leadership, and promote a positive school culture rooted in belonging and pride.

Each student and staff member has been be placed into one of our school “houses,” creating a smaller family within the larger school—where every child has a crew and a cause.

Throughout the year, students will earn points for their house by demonstrating excellence in academics, character, school spirit, and kindness. House-specific events, leadership opportunities, and friendly competition will keep the momentum going—and yes, families will have chances to participate too! The goal isn’t just to win points, but to lift each other up and celebrate what makes our school community strong. We can’t wait to see the impact this will have across our campus!
