LC Community- Our students had an outstanding week at the 56th Annual Rusk County Youth Project Show (RCYPS), showcasing their hard work, dedication, and craftsmanship. We kicked off the week with a huge success as Mackenzie Hayes won Reserve Champion with her market lamb. She followed that up with another impressive achievement, earning Class Reserve Champion for her Ferris Wheel Planter, which also placed 12th in the sale. Jasmin Barber had a fantastic showing as well, making the sale and placing 24th with her Outdoor Tiki Hut. Chris Smith and Laina Hayes also did an incredible job, presenting their well-crafted Ornamental Windmill and Bench Planter, respectively. These students have worked tirelessly, braving cold temperatures and long hours to perfect their projects. A special thank you to Mr. Tidwell and Mr. Hart for their guidance and encouragement throughout this process. We also want to recognize the parents of these students—your dedication and involvement make these successes possible. Congratulations to all of our students on a fantastic RCYPS! Go Lions!

LC Community- One of my greatest joys as Superintendent is recognizing and celebrating the successes and achievements of our current students. Watching them grow, learn, and accomplish their goals is truly inspiring. However, I don’t want our recognition to stop at graduation. I have been part of the LC community for 22 years, and over the years, I have seen so many of our former students go on to achieve incredible things in their lives. Their successes—big and small—deserve to be celebrated just as much. Graduating from LC doesn’t mean you stop being part of our family; in many ways, it makes your connection even more meaningful. After all, our mission as a school is to prepare students for life beyond our walls, and seeing that preparation come to fruition is something truly special. With that in mind, I want to expand our celebrations to include our alumni. If you or someone you know graduated from LC and is doing exceptional things, I would love to hear about it and share their story with our community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out—there’s no achievement too small to recognize! You can contact me via email at meverett@leverettschapelisd.net or reach me personally at 903-808-0182. I look forward to hearing from you and celebrating the incredible legacy of our LC graduates. Go Lions!
