Note from Superintendent Regarding Bond

We appreciate the support our citizens showed by voting FOR the bond on May 11. This bond will allow us to begin renovation and building projects in Lorena ISD to provide more adequate facilities to meet our students’ needs.

I want to personally thank each of you who played a role in the passage of this much needed bond. I appreciate the tireless hours you devoted to getting factual information out to the public so that they could make an informed decision. Your support of this project is recognized and appreciated. Whether you voted for or against the bond, we want to assure you that this money will be spent in a responsible and reasonable manner. The students of Lorena ISD are the beneficiaries of this vote. Thank you so much.

Estimate of Project Completion Dates

Construction and renovations will begin at the primary, elementary and middle schools. Those three campuses should be completed by the beginning of the 2014-2015 school year. We project that the

2014-2015 school year will open with the following new campus arrangements:

Lorena Primary School  Pre-K – 2^nd grades

Lorena Elementary School  3^rd – 5^th grades

Lorena Middle School 6^th – 8^th grades

The work on Lorena High School will begin sometime during the other projects and will be completed in phases. All phases of the additions and renovations at Lorena High School should be completed by the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year.

Red Rivals Rallying 4 Relief

In this trying time for our neighbors in West, the Lorena ISD community would like to come together to offer our assistance.  Here is the district plan for aiding the community and schools of West:

Each campus will be a collection site for the following:

• School supplies - for all grade levels (new)
• Backpacks (new)
• Money
• Water, Gatorade
• Non-perishable food items
• Toiletries (like shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc...)

On Monday, we are encouraging everyone on all campuses - employees and students - to wear RED.  We are calling our efforts RED RIVALS RALLYING FOR RELIEF.  We will collect money now through next Wednesday, but MONDAY will be designated as a specific day to wear red and donate cash.  Our hope is to use the cash to provide for specific needs at the school.

Lorena High School will host a Blood Drive Friday, April 26th from 7:30 am to 2:30 pm at the LHS gym. Community members are invited to come donate as well.  Call the HS Office (857-4604) for more details.

We want to organize our efforts so that we do not contribute to any chaos.  All groups, organizations, campuses, etc...will collect, but we will bring all of the items and money together for one donation/delivery from Lorena ISD Community, Students, and Staff.

Thank you again for your outpouring of concern!!!
