Lefler Middle School

It has been a full week at Lefler Middle School with Summer School and Band Camp! Check out the pictures of our band concert. It's always a blast to see Dr. Karas joining in with the band! Go Lions!

Last week our School Improvement Leadership Team met to walk through our data from the 2025-2026 school year. Our 2025-2026 school story had so many celebrations around student achievement and school climate. We were also able to identify great growth opportunities for the 2026-2027 school year - the story continues!

We are grateful to have such a dedicated team of individuals committed to creating sustainable growth, fostering academic excellence, and supporting the holistic development of our school community. 📈🍎

Analyzing our data allows us to lean into what works and intentionally bridge the gaps for the future. Thank you to our leadership team for their insight and to our entire staff for their unwavering dedication to our mission. Go Lions!

Summer break is almost here, and its a good time to recharge brains and batteries (not just the digital kind)! 🧠🔋 Help your students find the right balance between online learning and hands-on fun. Check out this resource for inspiration: https://trst.in/B4O6Rf

Today, on National School Principals Day, we want to celebrate our principal, Michele Suiter.
In true Michele fashion, the day almost slipped by because she has been so busy celebrating and supporting everyone else around her. Since joining Lefler Middle School this year, Michele has embraced every challenge and opportunity with dedication, positivity, and heart.
Making the move from the Pacific Northwest to Nebraska is no small transition, but Michele has brought a fresh perspective to Lincoln Public Schools and Lefler while honoring the strong work and traditions already in place. She has tackled tough projects head-on and continually seeks ways to make great things even better for our students and staff.
Thank you, Michele, for your leadership and for all you do for Lefler every day. 🦁💙
