LC Schools Middle School Music Education Selected for the Steele-Reese Grant!
The Lawrence County Schools middle school band program is delighted to share that it has been awarded
the Smith-Steele Reese grant, amounting to $48,000. This generous funding will enable the middle school band programs at Blaine, Fallsburg, and Louisa Middle to acquire 18 instruments for each school. The most essential instruments needed include clarinets, flutes, and trumpets.
Our LC Band Instructor, Mr. Scott Smith, shared, “I am so pleased that the foundation chose to honor our request. This award provides more equitable accessibility for our students to participate in instrumental music. Instrumental music is a strong part of a school culture, provides opportunities to excel academically, and reinforces social and emotional stability. I am grateful for this opportunity to make this investment in our kids. It's a win for Lawrence County Schools and a win for music education.”

Today, we are excited to highlight Mrs. Sheila Gollihue from Blaine Elementary School! Mrs. Gollihue has initiated a delightful tradition for the students at BES. Every Friday morning, she takes on early duty at the front drop-off door, with a whimsical dress-up adventure that began quite unexpectedly. She explains, “The Friday before fall break, I found a costume that one of the former teachers had left behind in my classroom. And I thought it would be fun to dress up to surprise the kids. Then, in early January, we had so much snow that I decided to become the Disney character, Anna. And from there, I started to dress up as a character every Friday, tying it to something happening in our class. For example, one Friday, I dressed up like a detective, and the class had to follow clues for the day. Mrs. Gollihue shared, “I love to see the kids' reactions. It's such a fun time!” Mrs. Gollihue has also transformed into beloved characters such as Junie B. Jones and Pete the Cat, all tied to reading material during class time.
Mrs. Gollihue shares with a laugh, “When I was in school, I often felt out of place and like I didn’t belong. I want our students to understand that they do belong here and that it’s perfectly fine to be different. And I also want them to experience fun as they learn!”
We appreciate Mrs. Gollihue’s creativity and adventurous spirit that she brings to BES every Friday morning! She acknowledges that crafting these costumes can be a lot of work, but she believes it’s all worthwhile when she sees the joy and smiles on students' faces.
Blaine Elementary invites everyone to stop by and meet Mrs. Gollihue during the upcoming school year. Come see which character she will transform into each Friday!

LC Schools Celebrates Mrs. Christy Moore– Happy Retirement!
LC Schools congratulates Mrs. Christy Moore, currently a LC District Resource Teacher, Middle/High and CTE Coordinator, as she begins her retirement after 27 years of service with LC Schools.
- LCHS Math teacher: 10 Years
- FES 6-8 math and reading: 2 Years

Mrs. Moore shares, "It has been a distinct honor to serve the students, families, and staff of Lawrence County Schools for the past 27 years. My journey through this district has been defined by a passion for academic excellence and a commitment to fostering growth at every level.
"My career has been a testament to the belief that education is a collective effort. Whether I was teaching math, leading as a principal, or coordinating CTE programs to prepare our students for the modern workforce, my guiding principle has remained unchanged. I have approached every role with the mindset: "I am not here for ME; I am here for WE—and WE are there for THEM."
"Throughout my tenure, my goal has been to provide every student with the resources, guidance, and inspiration they need to reach their full potential. It has been the privilege of a lifetime to contribute to the legacy of Lawrence County, ensuring that our students are prepared not just for graduation, but for life."
