LCHS Friday Focus

  Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a great week. We have made it to graduation weekend. With all the grad parties/celebrations last weekend, you would have thought we already had this done. Just a reminder to those staff members who are scheduled to work graduation please be there by 1:30. We will be outside at the stadium again this year. May 26 will be the check out day for all remaining students. They will go to advisory the last 15 minutes of 8th period to check in computers.

Thank you for all that you do for our students. However, today someone on staff is celebrating the big 40! Happy Birthday Mr. Prichard. Mr. Kopperud had the opportunity to present our top 10 seniors at the Rotary Club on Tuesday. That is always a fun time to see how the students interact with community members and it is nice that the Rotary invites the top 10 to come to this lunch meeting. Each year, they have a speaker that challenges the students to use their leadership and gifts to help others. It is a good message for the students to hear.  The seniors are down to 6 days left of classes. If you have a senior failing a class, it is important that you communicate with the family and myself. I have been running credit checks and ther...
