Honor students and their families were invited to a complimentary breakfast Thursday. They also received goody bags.
Several schools around the county host events that honor their honor roll students.
LFMS Principal Tom Alexander said the honor roll breakfast, which is given after every grading period, was "always my favorite thing to do."
He explained to the packed cafeteria that over one-fourth of the student population was represented on the honor roll.
"So that's a big achievement for you guys," Alexander said. "We are very proud of you."
Margie Jarrett, mother of 7th grader Trevor Jarrett, who made the A-B honor roll, felt "honored" to be a part of his achievement.
She said she "always felt fond of the schools," after being a school bus driver.
