We are excited to announce LEBMed - an opportunity for students to enter the field of healthcare. Thanks to our partners: Alice Peck Day Memorial Hospital and River Valley Community College, and congratulations to our first cohort.

This is the last Take Flight newsletter for the year.

Hi folks - I want to thank those families who came out for Senior Awards Night at LOH, the Grade 9-11 Awards Assembly on Wednesday, and graduation last night. It was good to see people and make that connection at this time of year. We have debriefed as an administrative team, and as always there are systems and approaches to be tweaked and adjusted. That being said, we thought it was a good week for our students and the celebration last night couldn’t have been nicer for our graduates. I hope our seniors enjoy their time with friends and family this weekend and I wish students well on their finals starting next Monday. This will be the final Weekly of the school year and we will reconnect next fall. I hope you have an enjoyable and restful summer.

Good afternoon, all - I’m taking a moment in the midst of Springfest to let you know that the day is going well. I can’t remember when we had more students outside participating and getting involved in all the activities than we have this year. They seem to be enjoying themselves - signing yearbooks, playing capture the flag, eating well…you name it!

It has been good to talk with seniors on their last “official” day of school, chatting with them a bit about what’s next and hearing their thoughts on the last four years. Every year, there are mixed emotions as they get ready to leave the building and find their way. It is always our hope that students will graduate with some fond memories of their time at LHS.

As seniors focus on next week, a sunny graduation, and the futures that await them, it is still business as usual for grades 9-11. Final exams begin for underclassmen the week after next; there is still an opportunity for work to be completed and grades to be improved. I encourage students to make the most out of the next couple of weeks - it’s always worth the time to do so.

I hope everyone has the chance to enjoy the weekend.

Good morning, folks— with less than two weeks to go until graduation, we are tightening up the details for that last week of school for seniors. Speakers have been chosen, the music has been decided, and other particulars are being finalized. As always, we are hoping for weather that allows us to keep the ceremony outdoors.

Although that first week of June is around the corner, there is still work to be done and responsibilities to be completed. We’ve encouraged seniors to reach out to their teachers and communicate with their counselors so there are no surprises in the final hour. This time of year is always busy, and with all the scheduled events that remain on the calendar, there is much to look forward to.

Thank you for your continued support of LHS, and I hope the remainder of your weekend is a good one.

Good morning, all - looks like we’re getting the Weekly out early today! I do want to take a moment to let you know how pleased we were with how well the prom went. We had more students attend the event than we’ve had in years, the gym was full for the Grand March, and the students danced, ate, and had a good time without incident - all good! We appreciate any help you provided in imparting words of wisdom to help keep students safe.

Just an FYI that we plan to run a lockdown drill at some point next week. Today, students were introduced to lockdown procedures during their advisory period and told that the drill will be conducted in the immediate future, without giving them the precise time and date. Staff members have also been sent lockdown information for their review. Again, the plan is not to reveal the exact day and time so we can monitor our response to the lockdown drill when announced. I will use SchoolMessenger to communicate with you immediately before the drill begins, and I will reach out again when it concludes.

Looks like we have a nice weekend headed our way. I hope you have a chance to enjoy it with friends and family.
