🎉 Congratulations to Joanna Fassler-Octaviano for her incredible achievement in the All-Region Jr. High Choir this past weekend! After excelling in her auditions, she showcased her talent and hard work during the event. They sang beautifully, and we’re so proud of her! 🎶

Join us this Tuesday, November 12th, for an unforgettable Veteran's Day music celebration at our elementary school. The doors to the cafeteria will open at 5pm, with the program kicking off at 5:30pm sharp. This is your chance to come together as a community and honor all those who have bravely served our country. Our 4th grade students have been working hard to prepare a special performance, so make sure your young musicians are in the music room no later than 5:25pm. They'll be escorted back there after the show to meet up with family. You won't want to miss this! See you there on Tuesday, November 12th at 5pm.

The Lamar High School AP Biology class took a trip to the Arkansas School for Mathematics, Sciences, and the Arts on Monday (10/28/24) to participate in a lab where they transformed E.coli bacteria by inserting PGLO DNA into its DNA and observing what happens to the bacteria when food and antibiotics are present in the environment. They then took a quick tour of downtown Hot Springs where they got to dip their hands into the natural hot springs and then visited one of the historic Arlington hotel.

Coach Brown is on the hunt for community partners to conduct mock interviews with Professional Communication students in the high school. If you are willing to donate your time on Friday, November 15th, please contact Coach Brown for details. Megan.Brown@lamarwarriors.org
