Students in Mrs. Marsh's 7th grade Science classes have been learning about physical and chemical changes. They rotated through five different mini lab stations where they determined whether it was a physical change or a chemical change. They also had to write about why they thought it was that type of change.
Congratulations to our JV Football team for defeating Green Sea Floyds last night. The final score was 44-26. Go Vikings!
Miss. Rogers’ art students participated in a collaborative art activity. Students started by creating a pixelated image on graph paper. Then, following their image, students connected strips of construction paper to create a pixelated mural.
Congratulations to our JV Lady Vikings for defeating Lake View in 2 sets tonight. #VikingPride 🏐💚💛
LMS Picture Day is Tuesday, September 16. Flyers/order forms were sent home with interim reports on September 4. You can also order online at https://www.schoolphotos.shop/. Our school code is 9043.
Mrs Allison's 6th grade Math Classes remembered 9/11 by creating replicas of The Twin Towers on graph paper. They applied their knowledge of rectangular prisms and surface area to calculate the surface area of Tower 1.
To wrap up Attendance Awareness Week, we aimed for 100% attendance today. Congratulations to the 8th grade students and teachers for having 100% attendance. We are celebrating today with sweet treats and extra break!
Mrs. Williamson's 8th grade class spent September 11, 2025 learning about September 11, 2001. It was an insightful and somber morning.
On Friday, September 5th, students in Mrs. Leann, Mrs. Angie, and Ms. Bridget's class put their reading and math skills into action while making homemade peach cobbler! They read a recipe step-by-step, measured ingredients accurately, applied math skills with fractions and units of measurement, and practiced real-world life skills. The best part...enjoying a sweet treat they made themselves!
Latta Middle School has kicked off September's Attendance Awareness Week right with Pajama Day! Let's shoot for 100% attendance this week and every week!
6th Grade Students Put Science into Action with Solar Ovens Latta Middle School’s 6th grade scientists recently brought classroom learning to life by designing, building, and testing their very own solar ovens. This hands-on project challenged students to apply scientific principles to meet two key science standards: 6-PS3-3: Apply scientific principles to design, construct, and test a device that either minimizes or maximizes thermal energy transfer. 6-PS3-4: Investigate the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by temperature. Using everyday materials such as cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, and plastic wrap, students engineered ovens that could harness the sun’s energy to heat food. After carefully designing their models, and students tested them outdoors to make s'mores. Not only did this project strengthen students’ understanding of energy transfer, but it also encouraged critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. And of course, the best part—tasting the results of their solar-powered cooking! At LMS, we believe in giving students meaningful opportunities to see how science applies to the real world. These future innovators showed that with curiosity and teamwork, learning can be both fun and impactful. Image
The 7th graders are proving kindness matters. Students have been nominating their peers for showing acts of kindness both big and small! From these nominations a fun wheel picker chooses our weekly winners. So far, four students have been celebrated for being "caught" doing something kind. We are proud of their example and look forward to recognizing more students as the year continues!
