Lavaca Public Schools is excited to announce the Local Board of Education named Mrs. Tammy Brewer as the new Middle School Principal. Mrs. Brewer has dedicated 33 years to the field of education and comes to us from the Guy Fenter Educational Service Cooperative (GFESC) where she serves as the Mentoring Program Specialist. Before joining the GFESC staff, she taught at Greenwood Public Schools. Mrs. Brewer is a National Board Certified teacher and Master Professional Educator. She earned her Educational Specialist degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Central Arkansas. As she transitions into this new administrative role, she will be working closely with the school district’s administrative team. High School principal, Dr. Felicia Owen, said, “Mrs. Brewer’s dedication to the field of education and expertise in mentoring teachers will be a huge asset to the district’s admin team. The Elementary School principal, Mrs. Jamie Patterson, said, “We are excited to welcome Mrs. Brewer to our administration team! Her extensive expertise in various areas will certainly enhance our capabilities and help us all grow.” In addition, Mrs. Caitlin Staton, the district's Curriculum Coordinator, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mrs. Brewer to LMS! Her skills and enthusiasm will undoubtedly bring fresh perspectives and energy to our work. We can’t wait to see the positive impact she will have as we continue to grow and achieve our goals together.”
Mrs. Brewer has been married to her husband Jeff for 36 years and they have one son – Brandon. He is married to his wife Morgan. The family are avid sports fans, especially the Razorbacks and are active in their church. When asked about transitioning to this new role, she stated, “I am excited to bring my joy and passion for education to the Lavaca School District.” Mrs. Brewer is looking forward to joining the LMS team in the coming weeks.
8th grade Algebra 1 students have been investigating with Systems of Equations.
The Middle School students were introduced to the new book arrivals by experiencing a “Book Tasting." The students were excited to have new books to checkout from the library.
Yesterday, we were thrilled to have special guests, Ashleigh Smith, Registered Dietitian and her intern Aimee Vandergriff from the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education visit our afterschool program! 🥤💧 They spoke to our elementary and middle school students about the importance of staying hydrated and why sugary energy drinks packed with caffeine aren't the best choice.
The kids had a blast playing a fun game where they learned to spot drinks that are great for hydration versus those to avoid. Such a valuable lesson for healthy living! 🌟
Happy Custodian Day!
