Go Panthers!

I understand that there has been some confusion regarding the first round of school pictures. We realize that only some of you received your student's pictures even though we distributed all of the ones we received. Leonard's is going to reprint all of the pictures that were purchased from the first picture day. We should receive them in time to get them to you before retakes on October 28. If your child missed the first picture day and you need to order pictures, please do so here: https://new.leonards.com/ 

Have a great weekend!

Dr. Melissa Laudani

Principal, Lawton Chiles MS 

Crooms Academy of Information Technology Visit & Field Trip

Crooms AOIT visited Friday and spoke to all 8th grade Science classes about the opportunities that exist at Crooms. Students who are interested in attending Crooms should consider attending the Crooms HS Field Trip on October 31. During the site visit, students will be divided into groups and will enjoy a tour of the facility, experience a technology lab classroom as well as meet with students, teachers, and technology team members who can answer any questions they may have.

The Rising 5K

Come run with us!!

The link is below, but you MUST sign up as part of the Lawton Chiles Middle School Team in order for us to get credit for our team.  Here's information on why we want to have a team together.  This money will go directly to the LCMS Sports Program.  

SCHOOL GRANT FOR LARGEST TEAMS- ​

Every year, the race offers three $500 grants for the largest elementary, middle, and high-school teams. But there is ONE caveat:  the minimum team size needed to be running is 25 people. They have had teams as large as 40 people before, so this is no big deal :) We're going for BIG here, so wrangle up a few more friends to come walk through history with you!!  

Remember, students still in school pay "your age" as the registration fee through October 18! (If you are 5 years old, the registration is $5 through October 18th).
