Congratulations Elijah!
Elijah Vasquezto, a local basketball student-athlete from Lubbock Cooper Middle School has been selected to represent the USA in the 2024 Portugal Basketball Festival in Portugal/Spain. Student-athletes are selected from a National pool based on athletics, leadership ability, and character.
Congratulations to our Science Fair Participants!
Three 8th grade LCMS students are advancing to the South Plains Regional Science and Engineering Fair after competing at the LCISD District Science Fair held on Wednesday.
Josie Butts, Ambree Howe, and Vishwatej Tallam each received 1st Place Ribbons on their individual projects. Their project videos were then judged for the final round placements. Each of them scored high enough to receive a trophy and advance to the regional competition!
These students have worked tirelessly for months to research, experiment, and develop presentations! Their hard work has paid off, and they look forward to representing LCMS and LCISD at the South Plains Regional Science and Engineering Fair on February 22nd. We are so very proud of you all and wish you all the best at the Regional Science Fair!
