This week at LPHS, September 30 - October 4

Thank you to everyone that played a part in making homecoming week as spectacular as it was!  From hallway decorating, to dance supervision and everything in between, what you do makes a difference!  It truly was a great week for our staff and students and a great kickoff to the year! 

This week is far less eventful, and provides the opportunity for us to buckle down.  We will be in classrooms this week, kicking off the HQI process for our teaching staff.  These High Quality Instruction walks are designed to be coaching towards improving instruction.  If you have questions following one of your visits, please make sure that you ask to discuss this with the administrator that has completed it. 

Monday:

* Happy Birthday, Halley McKenzie! 


Tuesday:

* PSP Meeting, 2:55 in the LPHS Media Center


Wednesday:

* Student Council meeting after school in the LPHS Media Center

* Happy Birthday, Kelly McShane! 


Friday:

* Happy Birthday, Lynda Hall! 


Have a great week!

This Week at LPHS: September 16-20

Hello All,

Thank you for what has been a really great start to the school year.  Your extra efforts to build relationships early will certainly pay off in the long run this school year. 

Please see below for this week's events:

Tuesday:

* Staff Meeting, 2:50-3:50 in the LPHS Media Center  (This will not be a PSP meeting, but we will review the PSP process and ask that you complete one by next Tuesday.  More info will be given at the meeting)

Thursday:

* Cultural Inclusivity Meeting, 7:10 in the LPHS Media Center

* Happy Birthday, Bruce Knick! 



Finally, you will remember that we shared this video at our opening meeting and discussed Terry's powerful words about being "The One" for a child in need. 


As powerful as that was, this past week's episode featured choir director Anthony White hearing about how powerful his work has been from the children in his choir.  Check that out below:


As this year builds towards something that I truly believe can be special, remember that you ALL have that same power as Mr. White and there are plenty of people in our school that need you to be their light and their hope!  

Let's have another great week!
