Eighteen volunteers, made up of community, faculty, staff, and students read to students throughout the week in the library, classrooms, gym, softball, and baseball fields. Our three year olds enjoyed hearing Jordan Bumgarner read about Color Days and emotions. Mr. Darrell Brown read, "How Mr. Brown Can Moo!" and Coach Weaver read "Fox and Socks". PreK and Kindergarten heard our Superintendent, Rhonda Barkhimer, read about "A Wocket in my Pocket", and secretary, Elizabeth Griffis read "Hop on Pop". Needless to say, first grade was in tune as one of the cheerleaders, Rae Factor, read "The Cat in the Hat" and Mrs. Nita Moreland read all about the "Tooth and Foot" books. Second grade enjoyed hearing Shelly Brown read "And to Think That I Saw it on Mulberry Street" and "Hooper Humperdink...? Not Him!". Mrs. Spears turned "Horton Hears a Who" into a play read by may of the 3rd graders. Awesome Dr. Seuss books adults gew up with like "Green Eggs and Ham", were enjoyed through the breakfast line and read to the 4th grade. Even our coaches and administration were able to share some rhymes that make reading fun. Coach Neill, Coach Marchbanks, and Mr. Amos also read Many Colored Days to our upper level students. A favorite book that introduces science and our environment to kids called "The Lorax" was read by Thomas Gates. New Lima Elementary is very appreciative of all the community and staff for making this week a success!
HS ⚾Baseball and 🥎Softball Schedules for Spring
After the overwhelming response to our first New Lima Alumni game, we have decided to postpone the game originally scheduled for March 11th to July 21st. While we are disappointed to have postponed the event, we are excited to announce that we are adding a men's baseball game to the event on July 21st. We will have both a girls softball game, followed by a men's baseball game on July 21st. All Alumni are invited to participate. Moving this date will allow us to better prepare and ensure that our first alumni event will be memorable and enjoyable for everyone that attends.
If you have already paid for the game, we will refund your money or apply it to the new date. Please contact Mr. Lee at klee@newlima.k12.ok.us to make arrangements. Please stay tuned for more information on this event as we get closer to the date.
