Good morning and happy Friday! This morning, Bus 71's route will be split between two buses. If your student rides Bus 71, you can expect a five to ten minute delay in pick up time. Thank you for your patience!

Don’t forget about the Blood Drive tomorrow, 2-6 pm at LHS. Sponsored by the LHS NHS! Did you know the Community Blood Center must collect almost 600 units of blood daily to meet the needs of area hospital patients? As there is no substitute for blood, we rely on volunteer donors like you to supply the life-saving blood and blood components. We hope you will join us in our efforts to provide what could be a gift of life for someone. Help by sharing this information and/or make an appointment: https://donate.savealifenow.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/80691
The group code for our event is CBIL.

Senior Parents, March 13th, seniors will attend the On My Own event in Plattsburg. This is a real-life simulation that gives students the opportunity to experience their future in a fun way. During the simulation, students will make healthy & wise lifestyle choices similar to those adults face on a daily basis. Students receive a monthly salary for their chosen career type, a family scenario, & an asset. Then, they proceed through “real life,” deducting taxes, determining a savings goal, & spending their monthly salaries on the necessities as well as luxury items that reflect the career & lifestyle they chose.
We will leave the school at 8:30 am & return between 11-11:30.
