Today, we are celebrating the incredible team that keeps Lone Oak Intermediate School running smoothly every single day. Their hard work behind the scenes keeps our halls clean, safe, and welcoming, but it’s their cheerful spirits and positive attitudes that truly make our school a better place.

Thank you for everything you do for our students, staff, and community. Your positive influence shines brightly here every day! 💜💛

Taste the World at LOI! 🌍🍴

Big changes are cooking up in the LOI cafeteria! We are launching a brand-new menu initiative that lets our students travel the world through exciting new food options. From savory spices to global classics, we are setting the table for a delicious cultural adventure designed to get students excited about trying new flavors.More information coming soon!

Get ready to pack your appetite, LOI! ✈️🍲

We had the absolute best time celebrating Dolly Day at LOI! To honor Dolly’s legendary spirit of generosity, our amazing kids created a vibrant Kindness Wall filled with beautiful butterflies. Each unique butterfly has a handwritten message of kindness from our students—proving that even a small, gentle word can lift someone up and make the whole world a little brighter.

We are so thankful for the wonderful students and staff at LOI and hope that everyone had the most joyful day! Huge shoutout to Mrs. Molly & Mrs. Aris for making sure everyone had the most fun shades for today! Another huge thank you to Mrs. Tilley and Mrs. Futrell for the butterflies used to create our kindness wall!

Have the most beautiful weekend and we can't wait to see everyone next week!
