Good afternoon, folks - we’re pleased to report that we completed the NEASC Decennial Accreditation Visit last Wednesday, and although the final report is not yet finished, we have received good feedback and have worked with the NEASC team to identify areas for improvement. We closed last week with the annual Bonfire on Friday night, as well as a slate of home games on Saturday, with the weather helping to make it a great weekend all around.

Discussions and number crunching continue in the building as we work to finalize the annual school budget to meet the needs of students, while keeping an eye on the bottom line. We continue to be grateful for the support provided over the years and we understand the obligation we have to be fiscally responsible.

Finally, I hope our students and families have a chance to enjoy the four-day weekend, rest a bit, and return to the building on Tuesday, energized as we make a collective push over the next few weeks to finish the quarter in strong fashion.

We're proud to share October news from the LHS Hangar.

Good morning, all - we thought that we would again try and get the Weekly early today in order to commit ourselves to all that’s happening in the building. With the Bonfire build and the pep rally scheduled for the afternoon, we tend to be out and about, circulating to ensure that all goes well - we are grateful that it usually does! The Bonfire is a decades old tradition that we are committed to maintaining. There is a fair amount of preparation that is devoted to making sure it is safe, inclusive, and fun for the students. Our seniors have traditionally been great to work with and they annually have as much interest in making sure it’s a successful event as we do. The pep rally has presented itself differently over the years, but Council has taken the reins the last several years, and they have done a good job of maintaining the effort to keep the event less about celebrating certain athletic teams, and more about recognizing the senior class and cultivating school spirit.
Both today and tomorrow we compete athletically, and finish tomorrow evening with a football game under the lights. The weather looks nice, which always helps, and the hope is that folks will come out this evening, and join us for portions of the day on Saturday. I hope you all have a chance to enjoy the weekend.

Good morning, folks - I want to thank those of you who were able to attend Open House last night. Many of you took the time to tell us how much you enjoyed the evening and appreciated the opportunity to attend classes, meet teachers, and talk to support staff - it was great to have you in the building.

Tonight is the Homecoming Dance, and any effort you could make to talk to your student in advance about appropriate behavior would be appreciated. The goal is to have fun and spend time with friends in positive ways, and we want that to be the focus. Also, if parents could please make the effort to pick your student up no later than 9:45, that would allow staff chaperones to get home at a decent time.

We look forward to the NEASC Visiting Team arriving Monday morning for the decennial visit, and we welcome whatever feedback they provide as we work to improve the student experience at LHS. It looks a bit wet the next couple of days, but I hope everyone has a chance to enjoy the weekend.

Good morning, all - we’ve been busy getting ready for next week which includes Open House, the Homecoming Dance, and the NEASC 3-day decennial visit which begins on the 28th. A lot of good work has been done by the staff and administration in advance, and we’re looking forward to the conversation and the feedback we’ll receive when the process is completed. I hope you all have the chance to enjoy the weekend with friends and family.
