Check out what our youngest cardinals in the nest have been up to this week!
A note from Mrs. Broome: Pre-k is doing a unit on trees and as we learn foods that grow from trees we made homemade applesauce for our snack!











Family Science Night Pictures. We hope you had fun and learned a lot!

The school election was ran and verified by Mrs. Campbell's 5th grade AIG students. Students spent time designing the voting space to create the most efficient traffic patterns, learning procedures for poll workers, then using technology to certify the results. Mrs. Campbell is very proud of her cardinals and the hard work they put in to make sure the election was a success!








Today has been an exciting day here at Love Memorial students, faculty, and staff cast their votes for who they believe should be the next President. Today’s vote also determined what our school cardinal mascot would look like and the mascot’s name. Stay tuned for the official results.











Mark your calendars for Family Science Night


October is AAC Awareness Month! AAC or Augmentative and Alternative Communication are the laminated communication boards and devices that people who are minimally or nonspeaking use to communicate. In order to learn that AAC can be their voice, children have to see adults around them “modeling” or touching the boards/devices while they talk. This teaches children that they can use AAC to ask for things and make friendships!
For week two of our Next Top Modeler competition here at Love, staff are counting the times they model AAC with students and the one with the most times gets a basket made up of items and gift cards from the amazing local businesses that donated to this event!
Our second Love Memorial’s Next Top Modeler is…..Tabitha Goins! Ms. Goins is a teacher assistant a self-contained adapted exceptional children’s classroom and has been learning more about AAC and modeling with her students all week long! Thank you Ms. Goins for supporting your student's human right to communicate!
Our other modeling superstars this week are:
Melissa Wilfong Nicole Owensby Virginia Myers Carly Lee Carrie Oaks
Amy Savage Ashley Spargo Kaitlyn Cloninger Grace Goins

White Out Day at Love



Our kindergarteners traveled to West Lincoln High today to participate in the Rebel Journey. The seniors of WL High provided a gift to each of our future Rebels.




Mrs. Campbell's 5th graders will be running a school wide election next week. On Wednesday, Ms. Biggerstaff, who has worked elections in Lincoln County for years, came to discuss the logistics and procedures for holding an election.


Yesterday books came to life as students and staff dressed as characters from literature!







Our PTO sponsored a night of community fun with corn-hole tournaments, hotdogs and fellowship. It was a great evening and time well spent together.







Spirit day 2 has been a Blast from the Past!
We can't wait to see those Book Characters tomorrow for Spirit Day 3 .







If you saw a few extra faculty around the building, don't be fooled. Some of these students are dressed to impress as teachers today! If you see a student that looks a little too old, take a closer look, it might be a teacher dressed as a student.
Tomorrow's Spirit Day is Blast from the Past, dress as your favorite decade.
