LCMS Weekly Newsletter

Dear Lubbock-Cooper Middle School Families,

I hope everyone is doing well and you’ve got to hear your students talk about their classes and fun activities they’ve been having this week.

Just a reminder that there is no school on Monday, September 5 in observance of Labor Day. We look forward to having everyone back next week and to hearing about all the exciting things the students did over the long weekend.

Relax, rejuvenate and enjoy!

Jess McReynolds, Cathy Barnhill, & Tracye McCallister

This week Coach Detwiler and Coach Webb took their 6th Grade Social Studies classes GeoCaching to learn about relative and absolute locations. All the kids enjoyed getting outside and learning about GeoCaching!

All 8th grade families are welcome to join an informational parent meeting for this years trip to Washington D.C. and New York City. Whether you have signed up, need more information, or wanting to join us, please come to the meeting this Wednesday, Sept 7 at 6:00PM in the Cafeteria at LCMS.

Each year the University Interscholastic League (UIL) host a competition with the mission of motivating students:

∙ To find new excitement in learning;

∙ To work with others in a competitive atmosphere;

∙ To achieve mastery of essential knowledge and skills;

• To test their skills and knowledge;
• To know the satisfaction of a successful performance; and
• To achieve recognition for academic excellence.

Here is a flyer to check out if you and your student is interested in participating and to signup as well. UIL - Signup Flyer

Students must have a badge to ride the bus starting Tuesday! Please make sure your student has their badge. If they have lost it, they may purchase a new one for $5 at our front office. They will just need to let the driver know in the morning they will be getting a new badge. If they do not have a badge after school, parents will called and will need to come pick up their child.
