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!
