Congratulations to our Talent Show contestants for their stupendous performances last Friday night. I have never been prouder of a group of students than I was that night. Our 1st place winners were Kennedy Amoroso, Kristanna Mitchell, and Payton Moore, 2nd place was Timmy Feagin, and 3rd place was Fatima Zaragoza. They were all winners in my book though, and the judges said they were so impressed with everyone that it made their job very difficult. We were also entertained by the Gavin Reily Band, featuring our very own Dr. P on electric guitar. Thank you to him and his fellow bandmates for their awesome tunes during intermission.
Congrats to our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade winners from last week’s basketball knockout competition! The students and staff had a blast kicking off March Madness with NCAA trivia, basketball games, College Shirt Day, and more. 🏀🔥 Special thanks to our PTO for sponsoring the prizes!
The staff had an absolute blast with Mrs. Vinson’s basketball scavenger hunt! Tiny basketballs were hidden all around the building, and the teacher who scored the most points took home the win! So many laughs and competitive fun! Big congrats to our champ, Ms. Allen—way to dominate! 🏀🎉 #MarchMadness
Our LBC boys have been slaying it on the golf course. Corbin Banks shot a 44, Holden Combs shot 49, and Owen Busbee shot 51. Great job guys!
