WOW! Levelland ISD has a great group of First Year Teachers this year! Through the First Year Teacher Academy (FYTA), teachers meet 6 times throughout the year to support, inspire and challenge one another. Here’s a look at some of the work (and play) that went on at our Day 2 meeting.
We are full of PRIDE, YES we ARE!
The 2010-2011 Levelland Middle School Cheerleaders recently returned from a National Cheerleaders Association (NCA) Summer Cheer Camp. The camp was held Raider Xtreme Gym in Lubbock and attracted 18 squads from surrounding area schools.
The LMS Cheer squad represented their school and community with pride and excellence.
The Squad came home with several honors including:
* 2 NCA Herkie Awards (team excellence and performance)
* NCA National Bid Winner (for further competitions)
* Spirit Stick Award (won on the first and final day of camp)
* 4 Superior Ribbons for NCA evaluations
* 4 Excellent Ribbons for NCA evaluations
Two of our LMS squad members, Haylee Jackson and Grace Stapleton were nominated by NCA staff members for All-American Cheerleader. Nominees are voted on based on their cheer skills, leadership skills, and overall cheer abilities. After All-American tryouts, Haylee Jackson was awarded a spot on the NCA All-American Cheer Team
LMS Cheerleaders for the 2010-2011 school year are: Alex French, Grace Stapleton, Hannah Pompa, Haylee Jackson, Mitchel Godbolt and Olivia Riley. Sponsors are LMS teacher April Allison and LMS Principal Kenny Berry
The Levelland HS Symphonic Band recently ranked 10th in the State, for there performance of Immer Fesch March by Richard Eilenberg, at the Texas Bandmasters Association Convention this past July, in San Antonio.
At the end of the 2009-2010 school year, the band submitted a recording of their performance for the Outstanding Performer Series that the Association of Small School Bands hosts. That recording then competes at all levels and the winner of each level earns their way up to State. The Lobo Band was awarded a position at the State level and earned the 10th spot overall.

Staff members entered to the sound of 50’s music to celebrate the theme of the LISD Wellness Program, Rockin’ to the Wellness Beat, and Wellness Committee members passed out guitar key rings. Hockley County School Employees Credit Union President Russell Vest presented each staff member with a notepad and pen.
