Sabellah is off to a tremendous start in her 8th grade school year. She is super polite to classmates and teachers and has a very friendly and positive attitude daily. Sabellah is always on task during class and will participate by raising her hand to answer questions, ask questions, and volunteering to help with whatever the teacher needs assistance with. She is an agent of her own learning as seen through her responsible actions of asking what she missed in class if she was absent a day and taking the initiative to check her grades and make sure she has assignments turned in. As a WEB leader, Sabellah plays an instrumental role in supporting sixth grade students in our school as well. Keep up the great work!

Mrs. Tower's and Miss Johnson's classes are diving into their cell unit, where excitement is growing—literally! Students are exploring the wonders of mitosis by planting their own seeds and monitoring their growth daily. They're seeing cell division in action as their plants sprout, develop leaves, and reach for the light. It’s an incredible hands-on journey through the life cycle, connecting classroom learning with real-life science!

Congratulations to our 2024 LMS Staff Homecoming King and Queen, shining examples of school spirit and Cardinal Pride!
