LISD celebrated Thanksgiving with its annual Holiday Feast in our cafeterias as parents joined their kids for a delicious meal. Turkey, Ham and all of the rest of the

traditional trimmings were prepared and served by our amazing kitchen staff with some special servers helping

out. The cafeterias were abuzz as a wonderful time was had by all. A special thanks goes out to the

cafeteria crew, janitorial and maintenance staff and all else who helped make this a memorable day.

MY PLATE

Mrs. Duron’s Family and Community Service Class is teaching pre-k

students about nutrition! The first lesson discussed My Plate, which

replaced the food pyramid. The students came over to the high school

class, and Nikki read I Will Never, Not Ever Eat a Tomato. This book

encourages children to try new foods, especially healthy foods. Then

the pre-k students colored their My Plate placemat and made healthy

trail mix baggies. It was a great success. The students learned a lot and

enjoyed eating their healthy snacks. Ms. Silvin, Ms. Smith, and Ms.

Zuvia’s classes will return each month to learn more about eating

healthy.

The very first Stacey Cyberpatriot team will compete in Round 1 competition this weekend against over 1200 teams from throughout the US. Cyberpatriot is a national cyber defense

Lipsey. The alternate team is Davis Merica, Cody Rivas, Abi Arndt, Sinead Bolton, and Adam Miller. Mr. Keller is the team’s coach. They are mentored by a group of cyber experts from throughout the USAF that volunteered their time over the summer, various Saturdays and Tuesdays during lunch

and learning lab to demonstrate real-world scenarios and strategies. “I joined the Cyberpatriot team because I wanted to learn more about computers. It is fun!” said

Stacey Junior Sinead Bolton. Teams that advance will compete in Round 2 during the weekend of December 7th. The first rounds

are held on the campuses of the respective schools. The national finals will be in Maryland during March.

Autumn Days are Here The fourth grade class under the direction Of Ms. Cara Coffey, Lackland Elementarys awesome music

Doodle” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag”. Parents joined in singing “America the Beautiful” as the show ended with a burst of energy. All who attended were delighted. Congratulations 4th grade.

TEDDY BEAR DRIVE Written by Breana Thompson

During October, the FCCLA members conducted a teddy bear drive. Stacey High

School students donated a total of 248 stuffed animals. The sophomore class won the

competition, bringing in 97 bears which earned them an ice cream party. FCCLA will

donate the animals to the Fischer House. The children staying at the Fischer house

will then be able to enjoy the company of a new “furry friend.”
