Congratulations to Lisa Lopresti and the LCHS Yearbook Staff for receiving the SUPERIOR Award from the Georgia Scholastic Press Association for their publication last year! GSPA's award was accompanied by this comment: "Leaning into the virtual nature of a disrupted pandemic year was an ingenious way to tell the story of the year. Many publications tried to proceed as normal. This one wisely shared the story of how virtual life collided with in-person interaction."

This week at Lumpkin County Middle school, students are given the opportunity to take advantage of the kiln in Mrs. Isaac's art classroom. The class created their own cups/jars out of clay, which they got to decorate with their own personalized glaze.
The Inaugural Kindergarten Cobbler Gobbler at LCES showcased the hard work and talent of our youngest TR1BE members! Parents watched their child perform several songs, learned about the work going in our classrooms, and enjoyed homemade cobbler from LC School Nutrition!
