Year-end Is Full of Traditions at LMS

7/18/2022

The last weeks of the school year at Lookout Mountain School are, without a doubt, the very most fun of all! Summer bucket lists are being created, tests and projects are all being finished, clothes and water bottles are being unearthed from deep within the lost-and-found, and extra recess is a must in the sunny, warm weather. A student even gets to sit in as Principal for the Day! This year, Gabriella Hanson took on the role and made sure that there was plenty of fun on schedule to close out 2022.  The end of the school year traditions at LMS certainly check that box, and they also take time to honor and celebrate all of the students who make the school such a special place.

Early May brought the return of Roxaboxen, a beloved LMS activity based on a book by Alice McLerran about a group of kids who use rocks and discarded boxes to create an imaginary town.  In years past, this has been an activity that first-graders take part in with their fourth grade buddies, but since COVID-19 considerations cancelled the event for the past few years, grades first through fifth got to all take part this year, dividing into groups, bringing in boxes, and setting up storefronts to create their town. First grade teacher Amy Thatcher joked that it was like a cardboard food court, with many stores selling snacks, but there was also a hill slide, a bank, and a games station.  Teachers shared that it was fun to see the kids working together to plan their spots, and they hope the larger version of the event can become an annual tradition. To end the event, and as a library reward for all the students, the Kona Ice truck delivered snow cones to the whole school!

On the final Friday before summer break, the LMS field was abuzz with the excitement of Field Day. Kindergarten through second grade participated in relays and games in the morning, and grades three through five took the field in the afternoon. Classes danced and sang along to music provided by emcee Ryan Patterson as they rotated through stations including water games, volleyball, relay races, hula-hoop rock-paper-scissors, and kickball. There was a whole lot of fun (accompanied by a whole lot of sun!) as kids faced off in fun competition with their classmates. The most hotly contested events of the day were the tug-of-war battles, with one class from each grade emerging victorious! As is tradition to end the day, the Lookout Mountain Fire Department raised the ladder hose of a firetruck high over the LMS field and let loose a downpour on all the students.  Not a square inch of the students was left dry after this drenching, and they could not have enjoyed it more, running from end to end of the field jumping in puddles with their friends.

The next celebration was Awards Day, which took place in person this year for the first time since the spring of 2019! Miss McKenna awarded certificates to students in all grades who had earned perfect attendance during the year. Mrs. Huffine announced that third-grader Carter Pierre, fourth-grader Eloise Sewell, and fifth-graders Mary Ellen Mixon and Wylie Shumate won the Outstanding Effort in Music award for their grade levels. Coach Crownover announced fitness awards for students in all grades who achieved award levels in the seven fitness tests administered in both the fall and spring.  Mrs. Fessler announced the Accelerated Reader awards, recognizing the top 20 point earners throughout the school, with Harper Wakefield topping the list with an astounding 1,044.1 AR points. Mrs. Avans selected Wylie Shumate as this year’s recipient for Outstanding Achievement in Science, and Mrs. Patterson announced that the Art Awards went to kindergartener Ezra Roebuck and fifth-grader Evie Stewart. Mrs. Inman presented the Redwood Award, which recognizes “exponential growth in fifth grade,” to Joseph Bastone, and Mrs. Cain presented the Susan Frankenburg Writing Award to Harper Wakefield.   

Rainy weather forced this year’s graduation ceremony indoors, but the bad weather did nothing to dampen the spirits of the fifth-graders, who had worked so hard to accomplish this milestone!  Friends and family of the class of 2022 celebrated the achievements and dedication of this year’s graduates, including 16 students who had earned recognition as Presidential Academic Scholars.  Allie Wakefield led attendees in the Pledge of Allegiance and the LMS School Student Pledge. Nathan Eriksen voiced the students’ appreciation of parents, and Caroline Carr spoke on their appreciation of the faculty. Evie Stewart presented the class gift, a lovely new outdoor table in memory of beloved LMS teacher Betsy Bookout. Several special graduation awards were also presented. Adelaide Gerwin gave the class address. Mrs. Cain announced that Nathan Eriksen was the recipient of this year’s DAR Good Citizenship Award. Principal White presented Mary Ellen Mixon with the Christy McBryar Faculty Award.  Caroline Carr received the Nancy Caulkins Scholarship, which was presented by Caroline Bentley.  After an introduction by Ellie Gervin, LMS alum Alice Martin spoke to the assembly, offering advice to the new graduates. We congratulate everyone on this special day, and we see nothing but clear skies ahead for this exceptional group of students!    

This year was not without its challenges, but LMS students proved once again what spirit and determination they possess. They have been supported beautifully by Principal Ruth White, LMS PTA President Mandy Hickey, and all the exceptional teachers, faculty, parents, and volunteers within our community!

This past month has seen Fairyland students creating, jump roping, and Dr. Seuss-ing … and enjoying every last bit of it!   

This year’s Fairyland Community Art Show on March 1 was incredible! Lookout Mountain United Methodist Church was filled to the brim with beautiful art of all shapes, sizes and forms. Craig Steele was one of this year’s featured artists, showing his innovative circular artwork using digital photographs and computer software to print on a variety of materials. He also performed amazing fire twirling demonstrations throughout the day for Fairyland students and other visitors. We are so grateful to Beth Bradford, DeAnna Willingham, Rachel Hinderliter, and all of the other parent and community volunteers, judges, and artists who entered their work. Art makes our community a happier, more beautiful place!

Jump Rope for Heart on February 28 was also a great success. This fun annual event raises awareness and funds for fighting heart disease. A total of $3,850 was raised for the American Heart Association!

Thanks go to Coach Cory Hall, specialist teachers at FES, and our energetic students for making a great day happen. 

The first week of March always brings out our Seuss-ish side. After a week of Seuss-tastic book reading, a tasty green eggs and ham breakfast and birthday cake at lunch, prepared by our fabulous cafeteria staff, we threw quite the party! On March 4, the characters came out in droves to celebrate the birthday of Theodore Seuss Geisel and the joy of reading! The day continued with fun activity centers in the library, estimation contests, guest readers in each classroom, Seuss-themed treats, school supplies for all, and much more. It was a wonderful day for celebrating literacy. Thank you to all our parents and community members who read, volunteered and donated!

A Weekend Celebrating LMS

3/31/2022

0 Comments

 
The end of February marked the return of two beloved events for Lookout Mountain School.
​
First up was “Grandparent and Special Guest Day,” which was last held in early 2019! This event typically takes place every other year at LMS, but due to COVID-19, there was a little longer wait than usual. But, oh, was it worth the wait! Event co-chairs Maggie Estes and Kari Pollard organized a beautiful celebration, giving grandparents and special guests a glimpse of what makes the school such a special place. Parent Emily Johnson created a lovely invitation for the day, welcoming guests aboard the “LMS Express.” The “passengers” were greeted by Principal Ruth White and then started their journey with a musical performance led by LMS music teacher Katie Huffine; the kindergarten, first- and second-graders sang “Pearly Shells,” and the third-, fourth-, and fifth-graders sang “I Love the Mountains.” After the entertainment, guests connected with their student “conductors” to tour the school, visiting classrooms and seeing first-hand the projects their students were working on. In the library, the guests had the chance to donate a book in honor of their student, and they ended their visit with refreshments in the cafeteria, including coffee donated by Canopy and Moon Pies by Elizabeth Griffin. On their way out, Beth Wingfield took lovely family photos at an enormous blue and gold balloon backdrop created by LMS art teacher Ryan Patterson.

Reflecting on the day, Maggie Estes said, “Faces were all smiles watching the children in the auditorium perform, and it was so sweet to see students grab the hands of their grandparents or special guests to show off their classrooms, art room, science lab, and all their incredible accomplishments at LMS this year.” Maggie laughed that she even saw a child teaching a grandparent how to take a “selfie” to remember the day! Kari Pollard said she loved seeing everyone’s excitement as well, and she was grateful for the support of teachers and parent volunteers who helped with the day. She commented that the support of the LMS community is “why and how our school thrives!”

The next evening, parents and community members gathered in support of LMS again at the “Night Out for Lookout” dinner party and auction. The event was held in the Lookout Mountain Club’s Fairyland Ballroom, where event co-chairs Katherine Smith and Meagan Duke put together a wonderful evening! Guests caught up on lost time while enjoying delicious food and bidding on a wide variety of silent auction items including class murals, student art projects, summer camp vouchers, vacation packages, dinner gift cards, jewelry and home goods, and an impressive array of other items donated by the LMS community. They could even bid to have their child become “Principal for the Day” or be able to pull the school fire alarm! In the live auction later that evening, guests tried to outbid one-another for impressive vacations and experiences, as well as contributing to the night’s special project supporting “Digital Literacy and Mindfulness.”

Mandy Hickey, PTA president, expressed how “incredibly grateful” she was to Katherine Smith and Meagan Duke for their “amazing efforts this year.” She also shared, “It was apparent our community missed [this event] last year, and they were eager to support LMS in a big way.  I loved watching some of our long-term and newer parents come together to make it happen.” A highlight of the evening’s décor was assistant chair Kakhi Wakefield using pottery bud vases made by LMS students as table centerpieces; parents were thrilled to purchase these beautiful works of art to take home after the auction! Assistant chair Morgan Everett expanded the auction’s art offerings as well, helping to secure outstanding pieces by local artists, including some very talented LMS parents.

There is always a sense of relief when big events like these two days are all wrapped up … everyone had a nice time, and everything went well. But this year, that sense of relief was magnified somehow by the sheer joy of getting to have the events at all! We got to see in person the community support for LMS, and we were reminded of what shared joy this community brings. Congratulations to everyone involved in these celebrations of LMS - all your hard work came together beautifully!

January 2022 - Welcome Back, LMS Book Fair!

Thinking back to elementary school, many of us can still remember the thrill of seeing the first flyers about book fair come home in our backpacks. We studied and circled our chosen books and posters with excitement. As the days counted down until the fair, we gathered up our dollars and coins and stared longingly at the school library doors as the shelves of materials were brought in and set up.  And when the first day of the fair finally arrived, it was always one of the best of the whole school year, seeing the coveted items in person and making some of them our very own. Even though some of the pencil cases and bookmarks haven’t lasted the years, the memories certainly have!
​

The second week of November brought the Scholastic Book Fair back to LMS this year, and the students relished every moment of it, making some lasting memories of their own and raising funds to support the LMS library. Last year’s book fair took place virtually due to COVID-19 considerations, and while the students certainly enjoyed viewing the virtual fair online and seeing their purchases arrive in their backpacks, they missed getting to comb through the shelves in their school library while gazing up at the posters of famous athletes, cute animals, and fancy sports cars that covered the walls. Perhaps because of the extra year of waiting, students were beyond excited to explore the fair this year.

Students at LMS benefit every day from their librarian, Whitney Fessler. She runs the LMS library like a well-oiled machine, cranking out adventures in the form of wonderful books that she helps each student discover. Mrs. Fessler really goes above and beyond during each book fair, and she is supported in her efforts by a team of LMS parent-volunteers. Chairing this year’s book fair were Jenny Tucker and Megan McDill. These ladies spent the entire week of the fair at school helping kids select their items, calculating how much money their stacks of wish-list books would cost in reality, and offering critical input into final deliberations between the colors of items. This year was Jenny’s daughter’s first year at LMS, and Jenny shared that “preparing for book fair week stirred up many of my own childhood book fair memories, and LMS did not disappoint!” She noted that, “The most popular books this year were the ‘Dragon Girls’ series, ‘Ground Zero,’ ‘Escape from Chernobyl,’ and anything Pokémon. In fact, after the first day, so many students had purchased those particular books that Mrs. Fessler had to order a resupply for the remaining days of the fair.

The energy spilling out of the library filled the school. Kids jumped with joy as they tried their luck at winning their favorite poster off the wall. Students tugged their friends by the arm to point out particularly exciting book covers, and some of them sat down and started reading their new books on the spot, not able to wait another moment. But beyond just the shopping rush, there were also moments that showed the lovely character of the LMS students as a whole. Jenny recalled, “A favorite memory of mine from the week is the many times I watched students purchase gifts for their own siblings - Christmas, birthday, or just because.” Jenny also saw firsthand what a wonderful job Whitney Fessler does, commenting that all of the students at LMS are so lucky to have her as their librarian!

By the time the week was over, students had added some amazing new characters and stories to their home libraries, and their purchases had raised about $2,000 for the LMS library. These funds will help buy new LMS library books, new materials for the library, and a fun reading incentive for the whole school at the end of the year. Congratulations to everyone who helped make this event happen. The results of the fair certainly lived up to the anticipation of the week!

November 2021 - LMS Celebrates Good News

Looking back over the past weeks, as the school year has progressed into full swing, we have much to celebrate around the halls of Lookout Mountain School! From academics, to athletics, to community support and fundraisers, the good news is plentiful!
​
Starting with academics, LMS met and exceeded expectations last year, maintaining both Level 5 and Reward School status from the Tennessee Department of Education based on 2020-2021 Tennessee Value-Added Assessment System (TVASS) scores. Level 5 schools show the highest level of academic growth in subjects like literacy and numeracy, exceeding the state growth standard. Reward schools achieve multiple high ratings across all students, and this designation is considered the highest honor for school accountability measures in Tennessee. We are so proud of the commitment to learning shown by our LMS teachers and students!   

Moving next to athletics, the good news came from an extremely successful cross country season by the LMS Flying Pigs. Be sure to check out the article in this edition from Coach Vicky Caughman for more details on the fast feet and school spirit these talented runners demonstrated this year!

Even more good news came from our community, as the amazing organization Quarterboards for a Cause donated $1,000 to LMS this fall!  This nonprofit organization was founded by Lookout Mountain resident (and former LMS parent) Linda Kitzman, who says that she “loves the giving part of this community … we give back to each other and make it a better place.” Along with her husband Mike, Ted and Kelly Alling, Rich and Kate Boschi, and Cameron and Hannon Doody make up the board of directors of Quarterboards for a Cause, and they are making good on their commitment to the Mountain. Since incorporating in 2019, they have supported the Lookout Mountain Police Department, both LMS and Fairyland Elementary, and the Lookout Mountain Rec Board. And beyond their philanthropy, their beautiful and unique quarterboards, which are crafted by Bob Guth and painted by his wife, Vicki, add a whimsical charm to many houses in our community. We are so thankful for their support of our school!     

And, we have some wonderful news from the first big LMS fundraiser of the year. The Hamilton County Kids First Coupon Book sales took place for two weeks in September. Parent volunteer Jennifer Mixon chaired the fundraiser this year, and she says, “I definitely know almost every name in the school now, and I really enjoyed the communication with some of the new parents I hadn’t had the chance to meet yet due to COVID-19 last year.”

Jennifer set up an Olympics theme around the sales this year, and kids jumped at the chance to sell enough books to win gold medals and other prizes! The students met the initial goal of selling 1,000 books, and they sold all but a handful of the additional 400 books added in the last days of the event. Every classroom met or exceeded its 35 books/class goal, and many classes sold over 100 books each! No class could top Mrs. Cook’s kindergarten, however, as it secured the title of top-selling class this year. Fifth-grader Findley Beasley sold over 80 books and earned the title of top-selling student overall. Second place went to Winston Hostetler, and third place went to Jones Walston. The top-selling girl was Turner Allen; she and Findley will reign as King and Queen of Carnival this year as a reward for their efforts! Jennifer says, “I am so grateful for all the parents and PTA board members who stepped up to help … the whole community (both Tennessee and Georgia) was eager to help make this a success, and I am so grateful for our children that we live in a community where they can skip from door to door or hop on their bikes and ride around selling coupon books for their school.”

This truly is a wonderful community, and we are happy to see LMS thriving with its support! Thank you to everyone who puts their time and talents toward the academic, athletic, and financial support of our school!

November finds us in the thick of fall at Fairyland Elementary School. We love getting outside and enjoying the beautiful cooler weather, as well as the traditions of the season - everything pumpkin, gratitude, and sharing recipes for “good” food. See tips from our students on page 29.
​

This fall closed out our cross country season for Fairyland’s runners. “We had one of the better seasons that I can remember in recent years,” Coach Cory Hall commented. “The culmination of a small group of talented and motivated runners, excellent weather, and the Chattanooga Track Club providing a professional event all made for a memorable season!” he said.  Many thanks to Coach Hall, our athletes, their supportive families for coming out and to the Chattanooga Track Club!

Pumpkins were definitely an overriding theme during October around here. We started off the month with an annual pumpkin sale. Our wonderful PTO picked up a load of beautiful pumpkins from Marsh Cattle Farm in Chickamauga, and held a well-attended sale over the weekend to benefit Fairyland School. Our other school-wide fundraiser event, The Great Pumpkin Chase, took place at the end of the month. As always, it was a fun, beautiful day, full of great music, cheers, speedy runners, and lots of smiles. Thank you so much to our tireless PTO for building up this fun event with great prizes and enthusiasm, to Coach Hall for coordinating, to our families and community members for sponsoring runners and coming out to cheer them on, and to all of our students who make the day a joy!

While in the season of Thanksgiving, some gratitude is definitely due for the amazing administrators, office staff, and school nurse who all keep us afloat at Fairyland School. These past few years have been full of challenging uncharted territory for all of us, and their steadiness, grace, and compassion have been an incredible blessing. Principal Jeremy Roerdink, Emily Haney, Mako Gilcrist, Nia Newton and Jennifer Hisey, we sure appreciate you!

October 2021 - FES Thanks PTO & Supporters

11/1/2021

0 Comments

 
This month Fairyland Elementary School would like to take the time to highlight our incredible PTO, community, and local businesses that rally around FES with support, supplies, and staff encouragement. Being a non-Title 1 school, our outside funding is limited, so our need for and appreciation of this vital support is enormous.  
​

A huge fundraiser for the year, Music on the Mountain, was held recently and was a very successful evening. Held outdoors at the Lookout Mountain Club overlooking the golf course, the evening included dinner, music by Jay Brooks, and silent/live auctions. The well-attended event had a special project focus: updating our playground. We are so grateful for the generous giving of both attendees and our community as we begin to make those updates a reality. Special thanks for the evening go out to our incredible PTO, donors, and the auction committee for Music on the Mountain: Alison and Barton Mathews, Maggie Corey, Conlee Butler, Jessica Middlebrooks, Allie Hall, Keith Davis, Megan Bell and Chrissy Jones.

Our community has stepped up to the plate in so many important and encouraging ways. Love Lookout again provided each of our students with a water bottle, so they can fill them at the water fountains. Starbucks and Rock City are bringing our faculty and staff a monthly morning treat of coffee and pastries/goodies. In the midst of a school year that still has us navigating some uncharted, intimidating waters, these little things are really big, important things. We can’t thank you enough for continuing to suppoort our students, their families and our staff. We are Fairyland!

October 2021 - LMS Welcomes New Faces

11/1/2021

0 Comments

 
The start of the school year is always a fun, chaotic bustle as kids adjust to new schedules and get back into the routine of learning after summer vacation. Around LMS this year, returning students were surprised to find some classrooms in entirely different parts of the building, as most of the third, fourth, and fifth grade classes moved locations, and the music room traded spots with the PTA Lion’s Den. In addition to the new places, there were also several new faces this year, as Lookout Mountain School welcomed five new faculty/staff members to the LMS family.

Katie Branch will be working with Mary Duncan in the LMS front office. Katie and her husband, Ben, moved to Chattanooga from Atlanta this past October. They live in Riverview, and Ben works at The Wauhatchie School. Katie comes to LMS from Warby Parker, where she worked as a customer experience advisor. She knew that she wanted to be in a school setting, so her move to Chattanooga allowed her to make that change. She says, “I am excited and honored to be a part of the sweet Lookout Mountain community through my new role.” The most recent addition to Katie’s crew is a new dachshund puppy named Frances. Katie gives fair warning that if you see her out and about, she will likely make you stop and look at puppy pictures, which everyone seems more than happy to do! Katie may also share with you, albeit with further convincing, a video of herself performing, as she is a trained opera singer, having studied vocal music education in college. She wants parents to know that she is already feeling “so at home” at LMS and is “excited for the years to come.” She is looking forward to meeting everyone and helping them out in the front office.      

The second-graders at LMS have two new teachers this year. One of the second grade classes will be taught by Sydney Fitch. Sydney is from Richmond, Va., but says she is “loving Chattanooga and living a large part of [her] life on Lookout Mountain.” Her parents live in Charlotte, N.C., where her father is a colonel in the National Guard and “loves to fish and be outdoors,” and her “wonderful mother” is a teacher’s assistant. Sydney is one of four siblings, including older brother Tripp, who flies Blackhawks for the Army, older sister Madeline, who is on her way to being a physical therapist, and younger brother Will, who is playing football and running track as a senior in high school. Sydney is new to her teaching role, but had the “distinct honor to be mentored by Dottie Love at Battle Academy.” She says that she loves the ELA curriculum and social studies, and she is looking forward to teaching those areas and building relationships around the school. She shares that the leadership at LMS is “probably the best in the world.” “I am impressed by Principal Ruth White every day and the servant leadership, care, and faith that she has in her faculty and staff. She treats everyone with respect, and she is empowering,” Sydney said. Outside of school, Sydney enjoys rock climbing and hiking; she also loves plants and hopes to have her own garden and greenhouse.   

Grace Pressley joins us to lead the other LMS second grade class. Grace recently moved to Chattanooga from Greenville, S.C., where she taught second grade for the past two years. Her parents are still in Greenville, and her younger brother just graduated from USC before relocating to Richmond, Va. Grace loves to go camping in her free time, and she enjoys traveling to new places.  She feels that her “biggest passion in life is teaching,” and she is excited to have the opportunity to work at LMS, which she sees as “such an amazing school.” Grace is looking forward to a great year and getting to know the LMS community better.  
 

Alongside Joy Kaeser, who moved to teaching third from second grade at LMS, Gina Hughes will be a new LMS third grade teacher this year. Gina’s is not an entirely new face around campus, though, as students loved getting to know her at the end of last year when she took over for Mrs. Maddie Weeks’ second grade during her maternity leave. Gina shares that she “fell in love with the students and school” last year, and that she found the kids to be “so smart, polite, and caring.”  Originally from the Hudson Valley of New York, Gina married her military husband and traveled/lived all over the world. She has moved an impressive 13 times in 28 years, including her move here from the Chicago area in 2018. During all of those moves, Gina spent 14 years in education, working as a teacher in Virginia, Georgia and Illinois. She also served in the Army Reserves, spending 10 years in personnel and public affairs. This military lifestyle makes her feel “very nomadic,” and she loves to move, whether it is just across town or (preferably) to “new and interesting places.” Gina is looking forward to working with the kids she didn’t have for class last year and is excited to help all her students “love to read and write.”

A final new addition to recognize is Julie Coleman, who is our guidance counselor this year. We share Julie with Spring Hill Elementary, and she has enjoyed “getting to know the names and faces” at LMS so far. Julie is from western New York, and she is the youngest of nine children in her family, including four brothers and four sisters. Julie married her husband, Jacob, in 2019, and she previously served as school counselor to East Lake Elementary School for the end of the 2020-2021 school year. Julie actually started her college education with a plan to major in music, but she made the switch to human development for her undergraduate degree and then went on to get her masters in school counseling, saying, “I love getting to work with students throughout their every day.”  During the challenges of the past two years, it is vital for students to have resources like Julie to turn to, and Julie is looking forward to “developing meaningful relationships” at LMS.

As we welcome all of these new faces to Lookout Mountain School, let’s also take a moment to thank Betsy Bookout, Ruthie Cargill, Kelly Paschall, and Maddie Weeks for their dedicated service to our school. They have brought years of joy and enrichment to LMS, and they will certainly be missed by parents, students, and faculty alike! We look to the past with gratitude and to the future with hope as we begin the 2021-2022 school year.
