Important Announcement for Lamar School District Families

Today, we’re celebrating the **unsung heroes** of our schools—our **School Resource Officers**! 🎉 These legends don’t just keep us safe—they also:
✅ Know exactly who’s trying to sneak snacks into class 🍫👀
✅ Have a **sixth sense** for when drama is about to go down 🤨💬
✅ Can **walk into a room** and instantly restore order (seriously, how do they do that?!) 👮♂️✨
✅ Are basically **human lie detectors** when students say, “I wasn’t doing anything!” 🤨
✅ Keep our school running on **good vibes, safety, and just the right amount of side-eye** 😆
A **huge thank you** to our SROs for everything you do—especially for pretending not to hear all the bad jokes we tell. 😂

Hello, Everyone!
Don't get cooked! You have exactly 7 days to order a yearbook for this year. We simply cannot guarantee that you will be able to order a yearbook after that date, as they need a number for the printers/publishers.
Please go to the website or use the QR code below to access the site to order one if you intend to do so. Students/parents/grandparents/guardians--TIME IS ALMOST UP!
This year's yearbook is going to be TOP NOTCH!
Mrs. Deen's kindergarten class with the help of student intern Ms Armstrong have been learning about economics. They had the opportunity to practice buying and selling items.
Jackie King and Tim Tanner from St Mary's came to visit the 8th grade career development classes. Students were taught about the warning signs for stroke and heart attack. They practiced how to perform CPR, and how to check heart rates and blood pressure.
Order your 2025 yearbook today! ONCE THEY’RE GONE, THEY'RE GONE!
There are only ten days left to guarantee a yearbook for your student. We do not plan on ordering many extra books and those few books will be sold first come, first served in the sequence of date/time purchased. There is no guarantee of a yearbook if you don’t place your order NOW!

Mid-Winter Break!
🌟 **Happy School Counselor Week to Sara Davis, Paden Zimmerman and David Meador!** 🌟
Our counselors are the **unsung heroes** of our district. 💙 They work tirelessly behind the scenes and are the true **Warriors** for our students. From supporting mental health to addressing physical needs, like ensuring students have food for the weekends, all three of our amazing counselors go above and beyond every single day.
Their dedication to helping students grow into productive, well-rounded citizens doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Zimmerman, and Mr. Meador, for your compassion, hard work, and endless care for our kids. 💪🍎
Let’s give a big round of applause for our amazing counselors! 👏
