LION PRIDE PARADE

To Our Incredible Lamar Family,

During our Lion Pride Parade we had an amazing turnout of students, staff, parents, and grandparents all ready to celebrate our connection to such a wonderful place in an uncertain time. Unfortunately, time got the best of us and we had to cut our route short. After over three hours of smiles, waves, and left turns, traffic and time got the best of us. Our parade began losing each other with each turn, which held us up and created dangerous conditions for us and others on the road. This was devastating as we missed seeing some of our wonderful students and families. We apologize whole heartedly and hope to see your wonderful faces again. Please keep the signs, who knows what may be in store in our future! We want to see you and will set up activities in our Lamar Student Google Classroom in order to connect! Our teachers also have videos and Zoom sessions for you, just log in. We miss you something fierce and are broken hearted we did not get to bring the cheer to some of you, but this is not the end, we WILL be together cheering on each other. Until then, stay #LionStrong #HappyLMSLions

Thank you,
Lamar Middle School

Parent Center Goes to SMU

A few parents from Lamar Middle School  along with Mrs. Taylor, Lamar’s parent liaison, took a road trip via (TRE) to Southern Methodist University (SMU) in Dallas. After catching two trains and one bus they finally made it to their destination. The parents attending the field trip received a wealth of information relating to their student's academic journey within the district. Additionally, they were able to see the limitless opportunities and avenues available that the district provides to help all Irving students become successful socially, academically, and, emotionally.  SMU and Irving ISD are working together to create a global gateway with limitless opportunities that shape and position students for success no matter where they go or what they pursue! It is Mrs. Taylor's desire that an inviting climate and culture is created that includes all stakeholders: students, parents, teachers, administrators, and the entire community, working together to create successful students!

Thanksgiving Lunch for Parent Volunteers

Rita Taylor the Parent Liaison at Lamar M.S. in Irving TX, and the wonderful parent volunteers went on a field trip to Cracker Barrell to enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving meal. It was great! We are so excited about our next outing.  Lamar is thankful for the many hours these individuals pour into our campus.
