From the classroom to the courtroom! Mrs. Tramell's 9th grade lit students got a firsthand look at legal argumentation today with visits from Mr. Sean Clemons, a practicing lawyer, and Mrs. Abi Courson, a law student and teacher at LMS. They helped students perfect their closing arguments for the State v. Hansel & Gretel mock trial, showing them how writing skills translate into real-world legal practice. #RealWorldLearning #LawAndLiterature #StudentEngagement

Good Afternoon, Viking Family,
We hope that you have enjoyed your Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday today!
We want you to know that we have been closely monitoring Winter Storm Demi and have been in contact with Lowndes EMA and other officials. With the storm’s timing, there are no anticipated threats during school hours on Tuesday, so we will have school on Tuesday, January 21st.
All after-school activities on Tuesday will end by 5:00pm, including Prime Time. The Lowndes versus Colquitt basketball game is postponed.
However, with the chance of ice and possible snow on the roads Wednesday morning, and the safety of our staff and students being our top priority, we have made the decision to close all Lowndes County Schools and System offices Wednesday, January 22nd.
We look forward to seeing your student at school tomorrow and encourage you to stay safe and warm on Wednesday!
