The 2026 Pantry Raid is ON!
For the second year, the Gators are taking on the Puppy Pack to support the East Texas Food Bankβand this year, the stakes are even higher.
Last year, the Gators defeated the Puppy Pack by collecting an incredible 12,000 pounds of food. This year, we're defending our title with a little more on the line:
The losing campus must fly the winning campus's flag for an ENTIRE WEEK!
We're already looking forward to having plenty of time for Gator selfies in front of Hubbard while they're flying our flag.
And this year, we're bringing the whole feeder pattern with us! Donations made at any of our feeder elementary schools count toward THE SWAMP'S TOTAL:
Jack Elementary
Jones Elementary
Owens Elementary
Peete Elementary
Every donation counts. Every campus counts. And every pound gets us closer to another Pantry Raid victory while supporting families across East Texas.
Bring your donations to the TLMS Library each morning.
Let's defend the Swamp. Let's feed East Texas. And let's get that Gator flag ready to fly!

Theatre students are practicing teamwork this week! π These gators are using notecards with everything they have in common written on them to build the tallest tower.π° So many creative techniques and minds in this classroom!







Elements, compounds, and mixtures, oh my!
Ms. Brown's investi-gators examined real-life examples of elements, compounds, and mixtures.
They didn't just guess, they classified each sample, justified their reasoning with evidence, and illustrated particle images to visualize how matter is arranged at the atomic level.


πβοΈ No peeking! Our 8th grade artists put their observation skills to the test with fun art challengesβincluding drawing their partners without looking at the paper, passing their drawings along, and putting their creativity to the test with Pictionary! π¨π
A little creativity, a lot of laughs, and some unique artwork!
