Our 8th grade STEAM students had the opportunity to showcase some of the unique and inventive projects they created throughout the year during STEAM Parent Night! From roller coaster models and personal scrapbooks to children’s books they wrote and shared with students at LAE, it was wonderful to see their hard work, creativity, and problem-solving skills on display.
We are so proud of these students and grateful to have been part of their journey as they prepare to take the next step into high school.
A special thank you to our amazing eighth grade team teachers: Ms. Kevern, Ms. Knoff, Ms. Shilling, Ms. Underwood, and Ms. Waltbillig, for their dedication, support, and encouragement throughout the year!
Congratulations to Ayva, Brees, Collin, and Payton for earning 1st place at the Clay County Media Festival for their video, “The Brees Show”!
We are so proud of your creativity and teamwork. A special shoutout to our media specialist, Mrs. Andersen, for supporting and encouraging these talented students.
Go get ’em, Tigers!

🌟Superintendent’s Junior High Super Student of the Month: Emily B. 🌟
Let’s give a huge round of applause to Emily B., an outstanding 8th grader at Lake Asbury Junior High! Emily is a true standout who balances a rigorous academic schedule—maintaining all A's in advanced classes like Algebra—with a deep commitment to the arts and her school community.
Emily’s talents shine on stage as a member of the State Chorus and an award-winning performer in the State Thespian Competition, but her impact goes far beyond her performances. As a ROAR Leader, she dedicated her summer to helping over 1,000 new students feel welcome, and she continues to show her "servant heart" as a Peer Assistant and a dedicated member of the Kids Helping Kids Club. Whether she is fundraising for others or mentoring her peers in the classroom, Emily’s inclusive nature and determination to show up for the hard work make her a shining example of the Tiger Spirit!
