Lumpkin County Middle

In partnership with NGHS, our annual Athletic Physical Day is next Tuesday, April 19th beginning at 2:30 PM. Forms can be picked up in your school's front office. Physicals are only $10 per athlete and are valid through the end of next school year (May 2023). Make sure you get your form in advance to fill out, and show up to the Tribe House as close to 2:30 as possible! Middle schoolers will need to have a parent present. #TR1BE

Mrs. Stroud and Mrs. Renee's class celebrated the end of their state testing this week by making a big breakfast to enjoy together! Students created and followed a budget, cooked their food, and set the table before digging in.

We were just notified that a fiber line has been cut between Lumpkin County and Atlanta causing phone outages for all our schools and district office. We do not have an estimated time of the current outage, but we hope it is resolved soon! Thank you for your understanding.

Grade 7 students are starting a new unit on Genetics. On Friday they created a genetic tree & tracked who has attached or detached earlobes, who could curl their tongue, & lastly who could taste the bitter PCT paper. Smiling students could not taste it, wincing ones could.

Sixth-grade students were sorting into four houses last week , by a random method, for the purpose of instilling a sense of community, team spirit, and self-efficacy which will allow for reinforcement of respectful behaviors and 21st century charter-based soft skills.

Seventh-grade students did a great job in the lab last quarter and made some great inquiries about Cellular Respiration!

Students were tasked with working together to build the tallest free-standing snowman that they could with limited supplies. The tallest one of the day was 12 inches!!

STEAM students grew lettuce, kale, and arugula in the classroom with their vertical hydroponic garden and enjoyed tasting fresh greens on the last day of quarter two!

Partners Club enjoys their time hanging out with friends. It was a great semester building connections & learning together. We look forward to more fun in 2022!
