Thank you for another incredible week, Lipscomb family! During this season of gratitude, I’m especially thankful for the rich community that makes William Lipscomb such a special place.

This week, we’re excited for Career Day on Friday — a wonderful opportunity for our students to dream big about their futures — and, of course, Family Movie Night on Saturday, one of the most fun events of the year!

And be sure to say hello to our newest campus resident, Simon, the adopted bearded dragon from Mrs. Owen’s classroom! 🦎 He’s already a hit with students and adds a little extra personality to our halls.

Thank you for all you do to support our students, our campus, and one another. Let’s make it another great week at Lipscomb! 🎬✨

We are to share that we have new merchandise available in our Lipscomb Pop-Up Shop! 🦁 The shop will be open from November 13 through midnight on November 14. The link below will go live tomorrow, so stay tuned for more details and get ready to grab your new Pride gear!

We invite parents, community members, and professionals to share your stories and the amazing work you do every day. Your journey could spark curiosity and inspire our students to pursue their passions! Consider joining us as a participant, or invite someone you know who would like to share what they do with our students!

Please fill out THIS form and reach out to Counselor Green (liwinfield@dallasisd.org) for more detials!

Dallas ISD has a brand-new mobile app to help families stay connected and informed! 🎉

With the app, you can:

Food and Child Nutrition Services would like to celebrate the spirit of the holiday and encourage our students to feel the gratitude and togetherness that are so important to our community. To celebrate, we will be serving a special Thanksgiving meal for lunch on Thursday, November 13th.

The Thanksgiving meal will consist of roasted turkey breast with gravy, cornbread stuffing muffin, green bean casserole, savory sweet potatoes, fresh pear, apple cinnamon crisp, and a cookie. Adult meals will be available for purchase for $5.00. A la carte pricing will not be offered for this special meal. Vegetarian entree options will be available

The time has come—Family Movie Night is finally here! Join us for one of PTA's most anticipated events of the year as we come together to relax and enjoy a fun movie night with the Lipscomb Pride Family!
