Inspiring Future Geologists!
LMS students in Dr. Sumrall and Mrs. McGregor’s classrooms had the opportunity to learn from two Ole Miss Geology graduate students.
They explored the field of Geology, discovered Mississippi’s unique geological features, and held a mold of our state fossil. Hands-on learning experiences like these ignite curiosity and inspire the next generation of scientists.
A huge thank you to our guest speakers for sharing their knowledge and passion!
Congratulations to Mrs. Marsha McLarty!

IMPORTANT UPDATE
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Learning the Art of Gratitude!
Students in LMS LEAD1 classes put their writing skills to the test by learning how to craft a proper thank-you note and address an envelope! Each student selected a teacher to express their appreciation, turning their lesson into a heartfelt moment.
Seventh-grade ELA teacher Ms. Heather Bynum shared, "Each thank-you note is a beautiful reminder that the work we do as teachers matters! These notes inspire me to keep creating meaningful relationships with my students and remind me of why I love what I do."
Way to go, students, for spreading kindness and gratitude!
Calling all artists!!!
