Last week was a busy and productive week here at LBMS! In addition to the outstanding classroom lessons that take place on a daily basis, all 8th graders completed scheduling for 9th grade, LBMS hosted 7th and 8th grade home basketball games Monday - Thursday, and the entire school participated in National Start with Hello week!
All 7th grade students and all 8th grade Advanced Science and Honors Physical Science students participated in a competition entitled You Be the Chemist. I am thrilled to report that 6 students from Lee Burneson have been selected to participate in the Greater Cleveland Qualifiers for the You Be the Chemist Challenge.
Congratulations to Neige DeAngelis, Joseph Mcgervey, Anusha Bangalore, Subratha Araselvan, Alexa Higgs, and Thomas Fogel!
Mr. Barre sent home a school messenger last week detailing information regarding the Washington, D.C. trip to all 8th grade parents. Please do not hesitate to contact him with any questions or concerns!
We're looking forward to another great week! Please feel free to contact me at any time! I'm here to help!
