Character
Developing good character is an on-going process at Lamar Elementary. We focus on a different character trait each month. Our character traits are kindness, courage, self-control, forgiveness, respect, diligence, loyalty, honesty, and confidence. For each classroom, the student who displayed the best example of that trait for the month is honored at a morning character reception.

We have flag personnel, recycle assistance, announcers, library assistants, greeters, attendance helpers, gym monitors, car line duty. These students are valuable leaders to our campus.
