Lubbock-Cooper East Elementary

Last Friday at our End-of-Year Convocation, we were proud to recognize Mrs. Stormy LeBlanc as the East Elementary Teacher of the Year!

Mrs. LeBlanc teaches Kindergarten at East Elementary and is so deserving of this honor. She sets high expectations for all students, works tirelessly to help her students succeed, and most importantly, is a true champion for East Elementary every single day.

What makes this recognition even more special is that Mrs. LeBlanc was nominated and selected by her peers at East Elementary. We are so thankful for the impact she makes on our students, staff, and campus community. Congratulations, Mrs. LeBlanc!

We had an fun time yesterday at the LCISD Elementary District Track Meet! Our students gave their best effort, showed great sportsmanship, and had so much fun competing. A huge thank you to Coach Waldrip for preparing our young athletes, to the teachers who served as sponsors at the meet, and to all the parents and families who came out to support our students!

We had a fun send off this morning for our track team at East Elementary! Today, 83 track athletes will be competing at the LCISD Elementary District Track Meet!

Today our 2nd Grade students at East Elementary brought history to life during their Historical Figures Living Museum Showcase!

For the past several weeks, our students have been researching influential historical figures, learning about their accomplishments, challenges, and lasting impact on our world. Today, they transformed into their chosen figures — dressing the part and proudly standing beside the presentation boards they created to share their learning.

Families and loved ones filled the cafeteria for this special event, and our students did an outstanding job presenting their projects, speaking with confidence, and teaching visitors about the important people they studied. It was incredible to see history come alive through their hard work, creativity, and dedication!

We are so proud of our 2nd graders and their teachers and grateful to the parents and families who joined us to celebrate their learning. ❤️

AMEND is a program that began through the YWCA. At East Elementary, AMEND brings together a group of fifth-grade young men who are learning and growing as they explore what it means to be responsible, respectful young men.

On Thursday evening, the AMEND students hosted a Spaghetti Dinner where they shared many of the meaningful lessons they have learned throughout the school year. The young men prepared a meal, set the tables, served an honored guest, and practiced polite dinner conversation.

We are incredibly proud of these young men and look forward to all they will accomplish in the future!

Yesterday was School Nurse Day so we want to be sure and recognize our wonderful school nurse, Traci Harrison! Mrs. Harrison is truly a sweet joy in our building. From caring for students with kindness and patience to supporting staff members throughout the day, she is always ready with a helping hand, a calm presence, and a warm smile.

Thank you, Mrs. Harrison, for all you do to keep our students safe, healthy, and loved!

Today our students proudly represented East Elementary at the Lubbock-Cooper ISD Elementary Unified Track Meet! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

We kicked off the morning with a big send-off to celebrate our Unified Track Team before they headed out to compete against other Lubbock-Cooper elementary campuses. Our students showed incredible effort, sportsmanship, and teamwork throughout the day, and we couldn’t be more proud of how they represented our school!

Thank you to our coaches, staff, families, and classmates who cheered them on and helped make this such a special experience.

Today, on National School Principals’ Day, we are proud to spotlight Mrs. Eugenis for the incredible dedication she shows every single day. She goes above and beyond to support not only our students and families, but also our entire staff at East. Her positive energy and innovative ideas continue to strengthen our campus community. We are truly grateful for her leadership and her unwavering commitment to bringing out the best in everyone she meets.

✨ Today’s Teacher Spotlight is on Kortney Avila — 5th Grade Reading! ✨

Mrs. Avila creates a classroom where reading comes alive and students feel supported as they grow as learners. She provides purposeful instruction while encouraging students to take ownership of their learning and build confidence in their abilities. Her positive relationships and dedication to student success make her an invaluable part of East Elementary! 💛
