Violin Concert

For several weeks, third grade students have had violin lessons.  This past week, the students go to show off their skills to their parents and grandparents.

Mr. Jacob Frank was their fearless leader.

He quizzed the students on different parts of the violin.

Here is Mrs. Borden's class performing.

Thanks Mr. Frank for inspiring our students!

Members of Lakeside High School graduating class of 1962 came to present Dr. Poovey and Leon Sheffield with a picture of members of their class, which will be hung in the hallway for everyone to see.

For those of you who don't know, Leon Sheffield Magnet School used to be Lakeside High School.    Members from Lakeside High School still live in the area, and make time to invest in our students.

Thanks for coming to visit!

Until next time,

Leadership Day

This past Wednesday, Leon Sheffield hosted Student Council Leadership Day.  More than 130 students from across North Alabama, and their student council sponsors came to learn the importance of school leadership, and how they can make a difference in their school.

Members of the LSMS Junior Lighthouse Team greeted everyone that came into the building.

 Here is the 2012-2013 LSMS Junior Lighthouse Team with Dr. Poovey, and Dr. Bice, the state superintendent.

Dr. Nichols introduced Dr. Bice.

Students and administrators also divided into groups to learn more about etiquette, fundraising, mentoring, and more. 

Thanks to all the volunteers, speakers, faculty, staff, and students for a great day!

Until next time,

LSMS

Silly Sock Day

Today at Leon Sheffield, we are saying, "Sock it to Drugs."

Students around the school are wearing crazy socks.

Mrs. Glover and Mrs. Hill are showing off their crazy socks.

Mrs. Boyd's class went to the science lab this afternoon to dissect owl pellets. 

Mrs. Watkins' class constructed a giant.  These students are measuring how tall he is.  They also will be constructing a new ending to the classic, "Jack and the Beanstalk" story.

We love seeing our WatchDog dads in action!  Here is Mr. Gregory helping a student.

Some students had a BIG surprise when they came into the lunchroom today:  the firefighters came to eat with them!

It is hard to tell who is having more fun!

Here is Mr. Craig Corum eating with Mrs. Gibson's class. 

Thank you to the Decatur Fire and Rescue squad for coming to eat with the students today!

Don't forget that tomorrow is boot day!

Until next time,

LSMS
