TRICK OR TREAT at the LUES Book Fair Family Event -- Sunday, Oct. 28th from 2:00-4:00 pm
Sweet Science Alert! Mrs. Butts and Mrs. Bolger’s 6th grade Science classes at LUES wrapped up their unit on cell theory by getting creative with animal cell cookies!
Students worked in groups to design their own animal cells using sugar cookies and various toppings. They had to think critically about which toppings best represented the organelles they’d been learning about. From frosting to candy, the creativity was off the charts!
What a fun and tasty way to solidify their understanding of cell structures!
Attention LCSD Students and Families: The University of Mississippi School of Education and Teachers of Tomorrow (TOT) are hosting their annual Fall Festival for PK-6 students on October 18th from 5-8 pm at Guyton Hall on the University of Mississippi Oxford campus. This will be a great opportunity for our students and their families to come together and enjoy some fun fall-themed activities.
Our dedicated school counselors recently attended the Magnolia State School Counselor Association conference right before fall break!
They returned with fresh insights, strategies, and tools to better support our students, families, and schools. We’re committed to fostering a positive environment for everyone, and this conference has equipped our counselors with even more knowledge to help guide our students on their paths to success.
Let’s give a huge shoutout to our amazing counselors for their continuous dedication and passion!
CONGRATULATIONS to our LCSD Employees of the Month for August and September!

How will they remember you? For the Jolly Ranchers, of course!
LMS cheerleaders jumped in to help with the LUES car rider line and spotted Mr. Franklin—instantly recalling their LUES days and his famous Jolly Rancher treats. Naturally, he had some to share!
Happy International Dot Day!
Classes in both our lower and upper elementary schools celebrated creativity and self-expression inspired by the book by Peter H. Reynolds. Students created their amazing dot artwork, showcasing their unique styles for display in the buildings!
In Mrs. Threlkeld's first-grade class, students went above and beyond by designing their dot-day attire at home, displaying incredible creativity. The fun didn’t stop there—everyone participated in various dot-themed activities and enjoyed some delicious dot candy!
This month at the LUES faculty meeting, Mr. Rankin Kyzar was excited to pass on the Anchor to Mrs. Tammy Moore! Mr. Kyzar expressed his gratitude, highlighting how supportive and helpful she has been. He knows he can count on her for answers and encouragement whenever he needs it.
Let's celebrate the power of teamwork and support in our amazing school community!
Happy IT Professionals Day! We celebrate the brilliant minds behind the technology that keeps us connected and productive. We thank you for your hard work!
TWO DAYS A MONTH
That's all it takes to be chronically absent.
Did you know children can fall behind academically if they miss 10% of school days? Being in school supports students' social, emotional, and physical well-being, and provides students with opportunities to learn, achieve, and reach for their dreams.
