Parents and guardians,

Please enjoy some of our first semester success stories at Lehigh Acres Middle School. This year our schedule permitted us to have all 6th graders and almost every 7th grader in a math class every day. This year we were able to make sure every student was scheduled into a reading class

 We implemented AR- Quarter 1 we had 10 students with over 100 AR points. Second quarter we had 30 students with over 100 points. Our high AR score was 399.7 points!!! Quarter 1 we had 85 students with 20 or more AR points. Second quarter we had 213 students with 20 or more AR points. Students scoring over 100 points have breakfast with the Principal, 50 AR points will get our students an AR shirt, 25 points will get them a doughnut and if they make their AR goal they have a jeans or a causal day.

 LAMS implemented PBS which stands for Positive Behavior Support. Our goal is to make sure we spend a lot of time on the 95% that are doing the right thing. Students doing what they are supposed to be doing get a bear paw. Every two weeks, we have random drawings for prizes for 10 or more students at each grade level.

 For students going over and above they receive a “Positive Referral”. This positive referral enables them to have lunch and “Pizza with the Principal”

 Middle School Student for a Day- Harns Marsh Elementary, Lehigh Elementary, Sunshine Elementary, G. Weaver Hipps Elementary visited LAMS to experience middle school. Students arrived at 10:00, groups of six students visited numerous core and elective classrooms for 10 minutes and met with our guidance staff to hear about our middle school academic expectations.  Mirror Lakes Elementary will be visiting our school in late January. Our students did an incredible job as tour guides and hospitality hosts.

 LAMS was visited three times by AVID state and national personnel. It is our goal to become an AVID  National Demonstration School. There are lots of wonderful things happening in our classrooms.

 Mrs. Cherbini graduated another class of student Peer Mediators to assist with peer conflicts

 Mr. Austin Hardy started a math team and entered our students into two competitions. Our team finished 8th out of 20 plus teams in one of the competitions.

 Mr. Gordon Hardy wrote a grant that was accepted by Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation. Mr. Hardy was given approximately 13,000 dollars to purchase instruments and instrument repair.

 Mr. Gordon Hardy and Mr. Gerstner combined for our first Dinner Theater. Band, chorus, and dram collaborated to put on a magnificent musical. Dinner was also served before the show. Our Winter band concert was a huge success. Our band and chorus performed at the airport- we received lots of positive comments on how well behaved they were, how wonderful they sounded, and how impressive they looked.

 LAMS had numerous students voted All County in Band and Chorus

 Deputy Aponte implemented our Cadet Program this year. Students meet twice a week, they are involved in many of our important school activities, and they post and retire the flags in front of the school every morning and afternoon.

 Mr. Cherbini and our science department had a record number of participants this year in our science fair. We had three students in the district science fair

 Our CROP and Scholars Clubs had a very impressive Induction and was well attended

 Our 8th grade students  had a school trip to NASA, our 6th graders had a school trip to MOSI, and our 7th graders will have a class trip to Sea World.

 We have student art hung up throughout the building

Each morning, we have 5 to 7 of our AVID students transported to Sunshine Elementary to tutor their low performing students.
