Robotics Team Advances

Congratulations to Mr. Sam Bartlett and our Robotics Team!  They competed this past weekend in the Heart of Texas Boosting Engineering, Science & Technology (BEST) Robotics Technical Competition, and took home first place.  This is an outstanding result especially considering we are in the first year of our Robotics program.  They now advance to the State competition in Dallas in two weeks.  Students from both the Middle School and High School make up the team, and they represented Lorena extremely well.  The picture on the left shows the team's trophy, t-shirt, plaque for best t-shirt design, and the official program for the competition.  You can find out more about our Robotics team by reading this post from earlier this year.

Bus Rider Count

On Wednesday, October 31st and Friday, November 2nd LISD will take a bus count on both the morning and afternoon routes.  The school district can earn an additional $9000+ if we have good ridership on those days. 
The Texas Education Agency requires the school district to choose two days from different months to get the bus ridership average we report.  So, we are asking you to encourage your child to ride the bus Wednesday, October 31st and Friday, November 2nd to support us in the effort to raise additional transportation funding from the state.

Thank you for your support.
