Lyman Elementary School -

Congratulations to Mrs. Jacci Upton 💐 Our Distinguished Literacy Teacher of the Year! Well-deserved 👏👏👏 We are SO proud of your hard work and dedication to teaching literacy!

🟢Order up @ StarBOOKS🟢 Ms. Glover's 3rd graders were surprised with a "Book Tasting"! They tried out different genres of books to explore topics or styles they might not ordinarily choose. The pastries and a "refresher" 🥤

Students got to experience a mini lesson in the cafeteria about Eating a Rainbow! We can make healthy, COLORFUL food choices at mealtimes!

We invite ALL students to dress up in an outfit or a shirt that represents your country of origin!

Mrs. Gifford‘s 4th Grade Mathematicians love having the chance to do their work in a different setting. The hallway is the perfect spot for a “Rounding Scoot”!

The word for the week is STAMINA in Mrs. Mangum's 1st grade class. Students have been working hard with their stamina while reading books. We have a song to remind ourselves what the definition is. On Fridays, students can get a reading buddy to read to.📚

Represent your favorite college team by wearing their shirt or jersey on Friday, Sept. 4th! As an AVID school, we encourage students to learn about colleges that exist within and outside of our state! ⬇️Let us know in the comments which college team your family pulls for!

If your child auditioned for 101 Dalmatians, they will receive their letter on Monday, August 31st.

Our performers worked very hard to show off their talents! Unfortunately, not everyone is able to be cast in the show or behind the scenes. We are proud of our Lions for being confident enough to sing, dance, and read dialogue in front of a panel. That takes a lot of bravery!

We are proud of you ALL!
