Career Day Speakers Wanted! 

Here at Lake Travis we are part of a diverse community as far as professions are concerned. There is a wide variety of occupations represented by our parents. Each year we tap into that resource by inviting parents and others in our community to speak at our Career Day. If you have an interesting job and would like to share about it with our students we would love to have you present at the LTMS Career Day on Friday afternoon, November 18. Please mark your calendar for the 18th of November and contact Anne Brown, counselor at LTMS for further details.

Science Department

 

Attention HUNTERS:  Hunting Season is here!  7th grade Science will be studying the circulatory system and we would like to have your deer hearts. Please bag and freeze your deer hearts for our upcoming dissection and deliver all hearts to Mrs. Young or Mr. Armstrong.  You don't have to be in 7th grade to do your part. We appreciate help from any grade level parent.  We will be accepting any donations until January or the end of hunting season. Please do your part for science! 

 

Good hunting and thank you for your support!
