Lipscomb's Own in USA Today

Our Learning Enhancement Program (LEP) has served numerous children across our PK-12 campuses for over 18 years. An on-site tutoring service, LEP has offered resources to students who need some extra academic help to those who have tested gifted and require extra challenge. Marlene Butler, our elementary LEP coordinator, is a huge advocate for understanding different learning styles and, as you will read in this USA Today Article (click bold print), imaginative and outdoor play. As a Performer Level Status Green School, DLES encourages daily outdoor activities, both in fun and learning, throughout all of its grades, utilizing its state-of-the-art outdoor classroom and wide-open green spaces. We are proud of the work we are doing in this area, and we are extremely proud of Marlene's "voice" in the included article. Thousands of responses are sent to USA Today everyday, and one of ours was chosen to be heard - now that is something worth talking about!

We're Off to a Great Start!

Tomorrow will officially be one full week of school completed, and we're off to a great start! Having our families and children back in the building just feels good. Please remember that tomorrow evening is Meet the Teacher Night. We begin at 6:00PM and will finish up at 7:30PM. It's a perfect time to learn about the year your child's teacher has planned for him or her, ask questions, and get to know other families with whom you'll be sharing life for the next several months. You'll also have the opportunity to look at outerwear provided by our Booster Club and find out more about other ways to become involved and support the school. You don't want to miss it - hope to see you there!

New Family Ice Cream Social

Families are invited to our annual New Family Ice Cream Social to be held this Sunday, August 8th, from 2-4 PM, come-and-go. All will enjoy a family treasure hunt, and of course, ice cream (Blue Bell, to be exact)! Dress is casual and all events will be held indoors at the elementary school campus due to the projected high temperatures. We just can't wait to get to know you better. See you then!
