Moore Middle School students revealed the mascot for the new Standing Bear High School today! Time to get more charcoal and Carolina blue in my closet! Go Grizzlies!

Amazing what goes on behind the scenes to make @LPSorg run! It’s the same feeling I had last year when our Director of Nutrition Services was busy tracking a large order of pineapples across the ocean to make sure it arrived on time for the menu rotation! It takes everyone!

Shout-out to LE Associate Director of Athletics and Activities, Joe Schlegelmilch for organizing the BB shot-clock trainings for LPS. Excited for implementation of the shot-clock in Class “A” during the 2022-2023 season.

ICYMI: Incredible story about this one district whose staff worked together and ultimately their students showed far less learning loss from the pandemic compared to millions of their peers across the nation…Oh wait that’s us! #LPSPROUD

New standardized test results revealed declines in math and reading scores compared to last year, but officials say the district dodged worst of pandemic learning loss. https://t.co/nMLZdMdfxM

What do @LPSorg teachers do during PLC early release days? Monitor class progress, plan great lessons, and determine next steps. Today I watched an @Elliott_LPS teacher model what strategy she used to teach a hard math concept. Smart teachers. Lucky students!

Today, two @LPSorg schools were named National Blue Ribbon Schools! Five schools in Nebraska earned this distinction and two of them were from LPS! Way to go students and staff at Humann and Adams!!! 🏆📚✏️👏🏻

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

My brain is still adjusting to seeing an @LPSorg high school in purple! Perfect night for the first game at LNW and a great kick-off event for the @FoundationLPS Fielding Dreams campaign!

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Seen at @lswhs today! Perfectly stated!

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Saw this in a classroom today! It reminds students to be proud of their work. Teachers find such creative ways to build confidence in kids!📸

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Hugs, smiles, and fist bumps all over LNK today. Must be #FirstWeekLPS! My kindergartener wanted hugs. My second grader wanted a high five. My middle schooler gave me a head nod and hair flip as she walked out the door. Yep, seems about right! Have a great year LPS!🍎📚✏️

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Teachers love learning too! Our @LPSorg science teachers spent the morning with dozens of @UNLincoln researchers to talk about their studies and findings! Great partnership to ensure our LPS students experience relevant and engaging lessons taught by our expert teachers! 🧫🧬🔬🔭

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Thank you @HyVee for grilling some great food for our new @LPSorg teachers! Gave us energy for another great day of leaning! 🍔🌭🔥

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

We are ready to start the pilot for our new K-6 reading curriculum this school year. Today, @LPSorg teachers had hands-on training to try out the lessons to see what students will experience. Our students are so lucky to learn from these expert teachers!

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Standing ovation! @LPSorg grads spoke to a room of Nebraska administrators this morning to share how the pandemic made them stronger and hopeful for the future! Thanks @NDE_GOV and @NDE_Commish for giving them a platform to tell their story! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Thanks @LPSorg and Adams Elementary for making these incoming Aviators feel welcome and confident at Orientation tonight! The last Kindergarten orientation for our family! ✈️✏️📚

[Sarah Salem @SarahSalem45]

Jess Nguyen also brought home NSDA assistant coach of the year, Southwest was named a School of Honor, and East was named a School of Excellence. Read the full list of @LPSorg results here. https://t.co/tZS9noyvHo

That’s how we do it! Over 5,000 students from 1,194 schools competed in the National Speech and Debate Tournament in Louisville, KY this summer. Multiple @LPSorg placed and THREE brought home the National Championship title! Way to go!🥇🏆

[Jeff Salem @JeffSalemPR]

Feeling grateful having spent the weekend in Miami with so many passionate people using @arborday fruit trees to alleviate food insecurity. I learned SO much. Can’t wait to share more!
