LISD Expect Excellence Newsletter
September 3, 2024
It's CTE Month so we will be featuring our CTE Educators and Courses all month long. Today we are featuring Hospitality and Tourism at LHS & LMS! LHS is lucky to have Mrs. Oaks and the amazing culinary classes that open doors after high school. Students learn nutrition, sanitation & food safety as well as management of a variety of food service operations, before moving into creating & competing in the culinary world. And Mrs. Young does a fabulous job preparing LMS kids for the real world. LMS students learn the basics of working in the restaurant industry. Students learn sanitation & safety rules as well as recipe reading, preparation, & baking science through preparing meals every day. This course also offers students hands-on experiences in real-world restaurants, enabling them to seek jobs after high school. We are proud of these CTE educators and what the courses offer!

NHS Project
Our LHS National Honor Society's January Community Service Project was a success! The NHS chose to love animals this month and brought 420 pounds of dog and cat food for the Levelland Animal Shelter. The NHS Officers: Ethan Parkinson, Emily Perez, Tea Johnson, and Addisen Campbell delivered the food this morning. They got a nice surprise too, when they got to love on little puppies that will be up for adoption soon! We #expectexcellence and are thankful that our NHS has the compassion to help out our Levelland community!
Holocaust Remembrance Day
Capitol students recognized Holocaust Remembrance Day. This day was created to “educate students about the Holocaust and inspire in students a sense of responsibility to recognize and uphold human value and to prevent future atrocities.” Capitol students read "The Whispering Town" by Jennifer Elvgren. They discussed and wrote about the characters who were upstanders, and discussed ways they could always stand up for what is right.

We will just make this a day of art.......congratulations to these LMS 6th Graders on their Keyhole Artwork. Ms. Jackson says, "My sixth-grade art classes had a contest to create what you would see when “Looking through the Keyhole” of their door. They did an amazing job and were extremely creative! I’m so proud of my students hard work! There were forty-four that advanced to the second round and 18 to the final round.
Congratulations to the winners:
1st place — Sarah
2nd place (tie) — Jagger, Jeremiah, Logan, Myrcea, and Perla
3rd place (tie) — Aiden, Bella, CJ, Ethan, Isabella, and Yael
Below are the 44 that advanced to the second round."
This looks like a lot of fun and we are so proud, again, that we offer these classes to our kids so that they can learn more about the world and themselves through art! We have some amazing artists! https://files.gabbart.com/459/leeannart.mp4
South Artist
What better way to celebrate cold days stuck inside than with art? Our third art story today celebrating our amazing teachers who reach students in a different way! These South students in Mrs. Mary Bara's Art classes practiced using their motor skills to trace, cut, and put together these beautiful snowflakes that can be seen around the building. Like real snowflakes and children, none of these are the same but oh so beautiful in their own way! Great job kids!

BBP is always accepting donations.
The LHS NHS challenge you
to be a Super Bowl 59 Champion! What if you donated $59? That feeds 8 students for one weekend. What if you donated $5.90 for every touch down? What if you donated $5.90 a week to feed a student all year long? What if you donated 59 cents a day for 365 days? That would feed 30 students for one weekend. What if you donated $5.90 which would nearly fill a weekend bag? What if you could donate $590? That would feed 2 students almost all year. More ideas are donating $2 for each point made, or donate the number on your favorite player's jersey! Our NHS hopes you feel like being a Super Bowl Champion! Every bit helps!
