𝐏𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Mrs. Gaudino's kindergartners dissected a 🎃today! Not only did students learn about the different parts, but they sampled baked pumpkin seeds, helped carve a jack-o-lantern, and started the decomposition process. Over the next several weeks, Mrs. Gaudino's class will check outside on their decomposing pumpkin and watch as it sprouts new life!

A message from Superintendent Dr. Rob Brown: "October is National Principals Month, and I want to recognize the hard work and often thankless jobs of our principals here in LC. Thank you, Dr. Green, Mrs. Mullinax, Mrs. Gerrells, Mr. Gerrells, and Mr. Kirk for the job you do each day. I appreciate your leadership and your dedication to your staff and your students. LCSS is better because of the culture and climate you've created in your schools! You are #𝙄𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙨!"
