October Lunch Menus
Look who's "Crushin' It" in JH this month!
The National Honor Society has partnered with the Junior High to recognize students for having excellent character. Each month, students will be nominated by their teachers and then recognized by NHS students by giving them a certificate and a purple 'CRUSH".
For September, the theme was organization!
Scarlett M. always comes to school prepared. She works hard to make sure her assignments are completed and continues to work on additional projects when she has free time.
Jade M. keeps track of all of her work and she consistently uses her class time wisely. She works hard to stay ahead of her work.
Ceci D. does an excellent job gathering information from coaches and teachers for the daily announcements. She can always be found using her work time to study and to prepare for tests or projects.

Lexington Community Members Needed!
Lexington Schools are committed to helping students explore career pathways and connect what they are learning in the classroom to the world of work. We know the best way to do this is by learning directly from professionals like you--our own community members!
This short survey will help us understand the many ways you might be interested in getting involved—whether that’s speaking in a classroom, participating in a career fair, sharing job opportunities, or offering job shadowing experiences.
Your time, expertise, and willingness to connect with students can make a lasting impact. Thank you for supporting our school community and inspiring the next generation of leaders!
Reach out to Mrs. Westergreen, our College and Career Readiness Coordinator, for any questions or concerns. Please complete the survey by October 31, 2025.
