!Lipscomb In The Middle!

Hey  LAMS Fam ! I hope and pray that everyone has had a smooth transition back from Thanksgiving Break! It was a GREAT time to rest and recharge as we are headed towards the halfway mark (can you believe that) of the school year!  Just a reminder that although it can be very tempting to "shift down" and cruise into Christmas break, be cognizant and hold yourself accountable for finishing strong! Keep your standards high and expect no less from your colleagues and students.  ~Crystal💜 "And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men;" ~Colossians 3:23 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (11/28-12/2) Traffic Greeter-Wood Awning Supervision-Clay FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (12/5-12/9) Traffic Greeter-Irwin Awning Supervision-Bennett TOMORROW Thank you to those of you who have completed the form that I emailed earlier today regarding your plans for tomorrow.

Hey  LAMS Fam ! We are focussed on "the light" which is also known as Thanksgiving Break.🦃 Keep in mind that it is imperative that we stay focussed and keep expectations high for students.

You are the very best faculty and staff around! ~Crystal💜 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--If anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."~Phillipians 4:8 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (11/7-11/11) Traffic Greeter-Thomas Awning Supervision-Short FACULTY/STAFF DUTY (11/14-11/18) Traffic Greeter-Elliot Awning Supervision-Mitchell WELCOME TO LIPSCOMB ACADEMY!

Hey  LAMS Fam ! WOW! We have been on quite the ride for the last couple of weeks! We successfully completed our accreditation process as well as hosted Grandparents Day! Next up is getting through our "Costume Dress-up Day" as well as our Annual Faculty Pancake Breakfast! We have a lot going on, but there is NO other faculty or staff I would rather work with than each one of you. Thank you for all of the extra energy and good vibes you bring with you to school each day. It means so much to me!😊 "Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing."

Hey There LAMS Fam ! We have made our way to the end of September and transitioned into fall!🍁 WOW! Now is a GREAT time to double check your Unit/Lesson Plans to ensure you are pointed in the right direction so that you can meet your quarterly goals. Consider your pacing and how remaining consistent will serve our children well. As we approach the end of the nine weeks be sure to: 1. REFLECT 2. RECOGNIZE 3. REINFORCE 4. REFINE These points are part of the educational cycle of continuous improvement and will support you with elevating your professional practice.  Thanks for ALL you do!
