Mirabeau B. Lamar Middle School

Hotdogs, chips, snacks, and Super Bowl vibes! 🌭🏈 Last Friday, the administrators and office staff at M. B. Lamar showed some love to our incredible teachers and staff with a pre-Super Bowl treat. The Seahawks may have won the game, but our Lions win every day. Frankly, we think our teachers and staff are the best.

We are proud to celebrate our 6th grade student, Zoey, who earned Honorable Mention in the Middle School 2D Division at the 2026 Birds of the Brush Art Contest. Her painting of a Yellow Warbler is a wonderful example of the talent and creativity our Lamar students continue to share beyond our campus. A special thank you to her art teacher, Ms. Sara Garza, for inspiring Zoey’s artistic growth, and to her grandpa for his mentorship and encouragement. Congratulations, Zoey, on this well-deserved recognition and for representing M. B. Lamar Middle School so beautifully. 🎨💚
