All around Levelland ISD we were seeing "blue" on Friday as we brought awareness to National Child Abuse Prevention Month! We recognize the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect.

Have a great week and enjoy!

Go Lobos!

It's National Assistant Principals' Week, and Levelland ISD is celebrating! Our assistant principals work tirelessly to bolster teachers, motivate students, support their principals, and create a positive learning community. Assistant Principals play a crucial role, and this week is a dedicated time to recognize them for their hard work and commitment to our schools, students, and profession. Please join us in celebrating these incredible school leaders when you see them this week!

Last Wednesday we celebrated National Paraprofessional Appreciation Day & we will celebrate the important work of our paraprofessionals. We thank these educators for their hard work and dedication to our students. They often provide teachers with administrative support, work with students outside of the classroom, & give one-on-one support to students. We always thank them for the vital work they do & thank them for their contributions to our schools!

LHS sends out a big congratulations to Mrs. Laurie Villanueva on being honored by Mrs. Baird's Teacher on the Rise! Mrs. Villanueva was nominated by Jazmin Trejo for being a kind, compassionate teacher who cares about her students' successes! We appreciate the Teacher on the Rise program for recognizing our LISD educators and rewarding them and the student nominating as well! Congratulations Mrs. Villanueva!

LMS sixth graders in Mrs. Sanders' Science class have experienced an exciting pH exploration lab! Throughout this unit, students have been learning about resource management practices and how they impact the availability of resources. As part of their learning, they created pollution awareness posters and researched the pros and cons of gas vs. electric vehicles. Mrs. Sanders #expectsexcellence and says, "It has been a fantastic unit filled with hands-on learning and critical thinking. Ask your child about their discoveries—we love seeing their curiosity grow!"

Mrs. Peck's first-grade class have been working extra hard this semester to become published authors. Her students brainstormed how we use math outside the classroom. They practiced creating a draft by writing sentences and illustrating pictures to match math stories. Then they created their final draft and sent it off to be published! Well, they got their final product back in the mail! They celebrated becoming Published Authors by each receiving a certificate, making an author crown, and some bookworms! We are so proud of all their hard work! Congratulations Mrs. Peck and all your little authors! https://files.gabbart.com/463/peckauthors_1.mp4

LHS students were caught writing "thank you" notes to LIFE for helping them with the SPC Dual Credit tuition. We are thankful our students are learning to appreciate things done for them that make their lives better. We appreciate all that LIFE does for our Levelland ISD students and teachers.

Congratulations to these LMS students who were honored by The Noon Lion's Club and Hockley County Credit Union! We appreciate their support of noticing students who go above and beyond expectations! These students are teacher-nominated and we are always proud to show them off!

Capitol fourth-grade students sang, played recorders, folk danced and showed off many of the things they have learned in music this year in a music program Friday, under the direction of Ms. Susan Draper. It's always a great time on both ends of these performances! Great job kids!

Coach Leong is thrilled to share that four Lobos made the Academic All-State Team! Zaden Carillo made the First Team. Gage Potter and Noah Tienda made the Second Team. And Gavin French made the Honorable Mention Team.
