I want to share some great news with our community. Our Student Council received a $500 grant from Carter BloodCare for the blood drives we hosted last year. Because of the generosity of our donors, Leverett's Chapel was able to help save ninety-nine lives. That is something our entire community can be proud of.
Blood donation is one of the most important ways we can serve others. A single donation can help several patients in our local hospitals. Carter BloodCare makes this process simple, and they have several donation sites across East Texas, including Longview, Tyler, and the mobile units that visit our area throughout the year. Anyone who wants to make a difference can schedule a donation at www.carterbloodcare.org
or visit one of their local centers.
Leverett's Chapel will host another on-site blood drive on January 21st. We will share more details as we get closer to the date. Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort and continues to do so. Your kindness matters.
Go Lions!

As Superintendent of Leverett’s Chapel ISD, one of my most important responsibilities is to make sure we bring the very best teachers into our classrooms. Our students, our school, and our community deserve nothing less. Every day, our team works with purpose to provide an environment where students can grow, achieve, and build a strong future. We are also committed to creating a workplace where our staff feels supported, valued, and proud to be part of the LC family.
The Region 7 Educator Career Fair is coming up on March 3, 2026, and this event is an important opportunity to expand the pool of great educators in our area. Strong schools begin with strong teachers, and growing the talent pipeline helps every district in East Texas, including ours.
I encourage you to share this information with friends and family. Talk to people who have a heart for students. Encourage those who may be thinking about a career in education to take the next step. Leverett’s Chapel ISD is always searching for the best people to join our work, and I believe the right teachers can change the future for our students.
Thank you for supporting our district and for helping us continue the mission of providing the best possible outcomes for our children.
Go Lions!

Today, Dr. Peddy, our Executive Director of Academics and Performance, represented Leverett's Chapel ISD at Stephen F. Austin State University. He spoke to undergraduate students who are preparing for their clinical teaching assignments and shared the important work underway in our district. Dr. Peddy introduced these future educators to our early steps in implementing the Teacher Incentive Allotment. He also made it clear that Leverett's Chapel ISD is growing as a destination district for strong teachers who want to make a meaningful difference.
Thank you, Dr. Peddy, for your leadership and for speaking on behalf of LCISD and our students. Your work supports our mission and helps us move closer to our vision of becoming the best small school district in Texas.

Our annual Thanksgiving Lunch is coming up this Thursday!!. I hope everyone can make plans to join us. Our cafeteria ladies work very hard each year to prepare a great meal for our students, staff, and community.
This day is important for our school community. When we come together, share a meal, and spend time with one another, it strengthens who we are as a district. LC is a small school, but we have a strong sense of family, and days like this remind us of that.
Lunch times for each grade are listed on the flyer pinned to our Facebook page and webpage; plates are $10 each. We look forward to seeing you and sharing this time together.

I want to give an update on the work being done on the south roof of the elementary building. This is part of our ongoing effort to take care of our school buildings and make sure they stay in good shape for our students and staff.
The work includes:
Installing eave trim and closures under the panels to seal and secure the roof
Rescrewing every panel to make sure the roof is properly fastened
Adding new closures and screws at the ridge
Applying a three-layer seal to all roof penetrations
Cleaning out the gutters
When I became superintendent four years ago, one of my primary goals was to start investing in our facilities. I wanted to fix, maintain, and update what needed attention. With support and direction from our Board of Trustees, we have made a lot of progress.
There is still more to do, but I believe strongly in the importance of safe and well-kept school buildings. These are the places where our students learn and grow, and they deserve the best we can give them.

Last Friday, Junior High reached 100 percent attendance.
Every student was present and ready to learn!!!
Great job to our JH students, staff, and families. You set the bar high to end the week.
Let us keep it going!

LC Elementary is back at it again!!
Today, only one student was absent. That means LC Elementary scored a 99 percent attendance rate. Great job!!
Now, it is time for Junior High and High School to show up and show out tomorrow.
Parents, we need your help. Every student, every day. That is how we reach our goals.

Our seniors recently visited the University of Texas at Tyler, and it was a powerful reminder of how bright their futures are. We are proud of their dedication to furthering their education and improving their lives through opportunity and hard work.
Thank you to UT Tyler for hosting us and giving our students a glimpse into life on campus!!!
While the tour was informative and inspiring, it also had its lighter moments. De Waylon and Bubba both stepped on the seal under the bell tower. According to tradition, that brings bad luck unless you run to the Turtle statue and back in under 120 seconds. Neither made it, but De Waylon came very close. Bubba says he did not realize he had to run back. Our tour guide, a senior at UT Tyler, told us she had never seen anyone attempt to break the curse in all her four years. Our students definitely left a lasting impression.
The seniors received some UT Tyler swag and enjoyed lunch in the campus cafeteria, thanks to the RootEd Alliance. It was a great day filled with learning, laughter, and inspiration.

Shoutout to Region 7 Service Center and Our Blue Bonnet K–5 ELA Team

A special thank you goes to Ms. Best from Region 7, who has worked diligently alongside our elementary staff to ensure this curriculum is implemented with fidelity and purpose. Her expertise and commitment have made a meaningful difference in our classrooms.
We also want to celebrate the outstanding work of our own educators:
