Shining the spotlight on Mrs. Moore for going above and beyond for her students! 🌟 Not only is she rocking it in her regular classes, but she has also stepped up to lead and inspire in her Life Skills class. Her students have been busy learning essential skills and put their baking talents to the test! 👩🍳🍞
Check out these awesome pics of her students making homemade biscuits and tackling the dishes afterward. Let’s just say, the smell of those biscuits wafting down the hall had everyone’s stomachs rumbling! 🤤
Way to go, Mrs. Moore! Thank you for your dedication to our students! 🎉👏

Today, Marsha Webb, Secretary to the Superintendent, took some of our secretaries to a Lumen training. While there, they were recognized for 18 years with Lumen!

We are so grateful for her dedication and expertise. Thank you, Marsha, for all you do!

Nicole Tipton, our 7th grade ELA teacher, is a Literacy Queen! Mrs. Tipton teaches each day with expertise and finesse. She knows exactly how to motivate students to learn to their full potential. She consistently finds effective supplemental material to drive home the standard being addressed in the curriculum. Finding exciting, high-quality activities to enforce learning is an area in which she excels. Mrs.Tipton engages students in purposeful literacy each day in her classroom which is so important for their comprehension. They annotate stories and poems, work collaboratively to further learning, and answer higher-level questions, just to name a few. Her students feel like confident and capable readers and writers because of the literacy-rich environment she creates. Mrs. Tipton is an excellent addition to our LMS crew this year, and we are so happy she is here! #TheLMSWay
Today is our spring bus evacuation drill. Buses will load earlier than normal so that there is time to go through the evacuation scenarios at each elementary school once all students are loaded. This should minimally impact bus drop off times, but students could arrive home a few minutes earlier or later than normal, depending on how long the drill takes. Campuses will be releasing all other students at normal times unless the principal of that building informs parents/guardians otherwise. Thank you!
We are proud to recognize Mrs. Beth Ann Davis, LMS school counselor, as Teacher of the Month (January)!
Read what her co-workers say about her. "Mrs. Davis is a constant reminder that we are all created for a purpose. She is kind, compassionate, and always respectful, offering unwavering support to both students and staff. Whether she’s guiding students through challenges, helping teachers lighten their load, or simply being a listening ear, she is truly the heart of LMS.
The Beth Effect should be a thing! The behind-the-scenes work she does is the grease that keeps LMS moving in the right direction. She is like a black hole—you can go to her with any concern, and she will help you find a solution. Her love for students is second to none, and she is the best counselor we’ve ever had—hands down.
Mrs. Davis goes above and beyond daily, ensuring that everyone in our school feels seen, heard, and supported. She fosters a safe, welcoming environment and brings a positive attitude to everything she does. LMS is stronger because of Mrs. Davis. Her ability to connect, provide guidance, and create a sense of belonging makes all the difference.
Thank you, Mrs. Davis, for being a true champion for our students and staff
We’re a little late in posting due to snow days, but we couldn't let this month pass without recognizing Jaris Acklin as our Support Staff Member of the Month (January)! Jaris is a Special Education paraprofessional at Mountain View Elementary. We are excited to announce that he will be moving into a Special Education teaching position for the 2025-2026 school year.
Read some of the things his coworkers say about him! "Jaris is nothing short of amazing. His flexibility, willingness to help wherever needed, and genuine care for our students make him an invaluable part of MVE. When he walks into a room, he finds a way to connect—whether it’s assisting with work, sharing a conversation, or offering a high five or fist bump. His kindness and uplifting words brighten the day for students and staff alike.
Jaris goes above and beyond daily, building respectful relationships and motivating students with his positivity and dedication. His big smile, great attitude, and passion for helping others truly set him apart."
We are so grateful to have Jaris at MVBT!
🎉🐐 G.O.A.T. Alert! 🐐🎉
Congratulations to Mr. Guffey, the latest recipient of the LMS G.O.A.T. Award, passed on by Kelli Smotherman!
Mr. Guffey is drama-free, respectful, patient, a team player, and a role model for all of our students. His positive attitude shines throughout the day, and he goes above and beyond—especially when working hard at the crosswalk to keep everyone safe.
Thank you, Mr. Guffey, for being an essential part of #TheLMSWay! We’re lucky to have you! 💙❤️
