Lafayette County School District

With heavy hearts, we mourn the loss of our dear colleague and friend, Hailey Boggs. Mrs. Boggs built meaningful relationships with everyone she encountered-staff and students alike. Her dedication to her work at Lafayette Upper Elementary was unparalleled. She always went above and beyond to ensure our students were happy and safe, often caring for their personal needs as well as their school ones. Her warmth and compassion will be sorely missed. The family will receive friends on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, from 4:00 PM until 6:00 PM at Coleman Funeral Home of Oxford. The service celebrating her life will take place at 6:00 PM in the chapel of Coleman Funeral Home. Full obituary: https://www.colemanfuneralhome.com/obituaries/Hailey-Boggs/#!/TributeWall

We are excited to inform you that Chromebook distribution will be taking place next week for LHS students. Please ensure you adhere to the scheduled times to collect your Chromebook(s) efficiently. It is essential for all students to have access to these devices to support their learning throughout the academic year. For any questions or concerns regarding the Chromebook distribution process, feel free to contact your individual school's office.

Congratulations to the following athletes on making the 2024-25 Lafayette Boys/Girls Golf Team.

🌟 We're proud to recognize four upcoming Senior students from Lafayette High School who represented North East Power at the Electric Cooperative Youth Tour in Washington D.C.! 🇺🇸✨ Anna Cooper, Mary Madison Kelley, Drew Knight, and Jake Leary explored the nation's capital, visited monuments, memorials, and met with Senators – what an incredible opportunity to learn and grow! 🏛️📜

📚 The Literacy Bus made a special visit to Lafayette Upper Elementary's summer school program! 🚍✨ Students had the opportunity to choose books to take home and participated in some fun games. Daily reading can significantly improve a child’s reading comprehension, helping them become more proficient and confident readers. Consistent practice enhances vocabulary, understanding of text structure, and critical thinking skills, laying a strong foundation for academic success. A heartfelt thank you to Cara Buffington for bringing the Literacy Bus to Lafayette Upper Elementary. This support will help nurture the educational growth and imagination of our students. ❤️📖

Our administrative team spent time reflecting on the district's mission and continuing to incorporate those values within the plans for the upcoming school year. They enjoyed time away from their desks and collaborated in a different setting building teamwork, one strike at a time! Dr. Tillman inspired the team through his powerful message on "Purpose."
