She has a bachelor's is in elementary education from Park University and a master's is in curriculum and instruction from Lesley University. She started his career in public education 21 years ago and this is her second year at LMS. He states , "When I was in college I had the chance to work as a biology lab assistant. I loved working with the students to complete their labs and prepare for the tests. It was fulfilling to have them stop me on campus to tell me how much I helped them. That's when I decided to pursue teaching. Now that I am 20 years in I still love helping the kids and getting to know them. The kids are the best part of the job. They're so much fun!" Mrs. Beaty is trying to visit all 50 states, she only has 7 left.
Mrs. Sarah O'Roark-7th Grade Math

She has a degree in Middle School Education with an emphasis in mathematics. Her undergrad is from Southwest Baptist University and her Master's Degree is from Northwest Missouri State.
She states, "I enjoy working with students because I love seeing their excitement when they learn new things and I enjoy supporting their goals/dreams inside and outside of the classroom. I had a teacher who once did that for me in middle school which inspired me to want to do the same for my future students." Mrs. O'Roark's hobbies include hanging out with her family, spending time outdoors, running, attending sporting events, and working out.
Digital Citizenship
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quickly becoming a big part of our daily lives, and teens are growing up surrounded by it. From voice assistants to smart apps, AI impacts how they interact with technology and the world around them. Having conversations with your teens about AI can help them understand its benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations. Encourage them to think critically about the technology they use and how AI is shaping their future.

LPS AI Support - information available for students, parents, and staff about the use of AI in LPS can be found on the Digital Citizenship page.
