LISD Expect Excellence Newsletter

Hello Levelland ISD.

It is a great day to be a Lobo! Thank you to our heroes in our cafeterias. Your work comes from the heart.

Our five campus principals are nothing short of amazing. Thank you for striving to Expect Excellence for all your students. The end of the school year is coming upon us quickly. Your students might be excited for a break, but it will be hard for them to say goodbye to you. You make a difference in their lives and they will miss you!

Go Lobos!

Expect Excellence

Sincerely, Becky McCutchen

LISD celebrated our Cafeteria Ladies last Friday on School Lunch Hero Day! We dedicated the day to the women who make our cafeterias a delicious place to be! They rise early to get our campuses started and do thankless but essential jobs for our kids! These ladies contribute to the well-being of every child. Even though delicious food is their priority, they also help keep our students healthy so they can learn! You are our Heroes!

LHS welcomes 58 new students to National Honor Society. These students took their oath and signed the NHS Registry to become members last night in a ceremony hosted by Mrs. Katie Pena and Mrs. Cristal Isaacks! The New 2024-2025 NHS Officers were also installed to take over the leadership next year! We look forward to seeing how these students lead next year and in the future! Congratulations to all these amazing students!

Capitol's Career Day was "electrifying" and a little "wild" yesterday. Counselor Mrs. Barbara Utley tells students that it's never too early to start thinking about the future. Capitol students learned about careers that might interest them. They learned about various career choices from an author, a taxidermist, a restaurateur, the police, some musicians, a banker, the firemen, a veterinarian, a car sales lady, and SPC counselors. Our children are our future and days like this enable them to decide what they want to pursue after high school! Thank you Mrs. Utley! It was a great day! https://files.gabbart.com/462/capitolcareervideo_facebook_video.mp4

South Elementary is presented their last program of the year under the direction of Music Teacher Jennifer Turner! Third grade learned so much in music, and showed a few of the skills they've learned this year! https://www.facebook.com/LevellandISD/videos/763792209188354

Fire! LHS students in Coach Munoz's Forensics Class were engaged in an arson inquiry lab yesterday! Mrs. Munoz #expectsexcellence and challenged her students to create a structure, set fire to it, and observe the structure's behavior as it burns. Their learning target was to investigate the fire's behavior as it burned to predict the point of origin of the fire, therefore forming a beacon of truth to solving the crime at the scene. Don't worry. Our local fire department was on hand for the lab! Thank you Coach Munoz, for a great lesson!

Mr. Joshua Randol shares that LMS 5th Graders enjoyed some free time last Wednesday, after STAAR testing. Coach Sydney Ramirez arranged to allow all of the 5th grade the chance to have fun on the Football field. The kiddos both deserved and loved every minute of it after a stressful week.

LHS Choir Director Amy Bayer and the Choir Parent Club #expectexcellence and hosted the Annual End-of-Year Choir Honors Banquet earlier this week. Students were given awards for accolades earned throughout the year. The choirs performed and spread the idea throughout the entire banquet that these students are going to be successful after high school. They sang songs that even said, "Watch what happens now." They also sang "What Was I Made For?" by Billie Eilish, but they were assured they could go out and conquer the world because of their LHS experiences! These students are amazing and have achieved great things through choir. Thank you Mrs. Bayer, for giving them so many opportunities.

LISD is so proud of these four Migrant Graduates. The LISD Migrant Program helps newcomers to Levelland find the resources necessary to access the information needed to be successful. These four littles were escorted by graduating seniors. These students learn in Spanish and English and can recite many things in both languages. They focus on early learning concepts such as colors, numbers, and setting goals for being a successful student at Levelland ABC. Thank you to our Migrant Program for making a difference in students' and parents' lives!

LISD celebrated Cinco de Mayo and children all over Levelland ISD celebrated with homemade Mexican Food, Dancing, Feasts and Fiestas, and Cultural celebrations everywhere!

Our BBQ Team members were up before dark practicing their craft, many days before they headed to the State BBQ Competition! They cooked ribs, chicken, brisket, beans and dessert. Our LHS kids joined 98 other teams in Round Rock. They got up way before the sun and started cooking! Their beans brought home the 16th ribbon, their dessert came in 25, and their ribs earned the 26th spot! We are so proud of this program that offers an opportunity for students after high school. Thank you to Mrs. Khris Oaks for all the hours you've put in to help these kids learn and to Mr. Sid Gerber for your help sponsoring the State trip!

Capitol Elementary Gifted and Talented students present their end-of-year research projects! Great job kids! Third grade learned about broadcasting and video. Second grade presented their research in pizza box biographies. Fourth grade presented their study on mosaics!
