Greetings LHS: As part of the Remember the Forgotten Activities the Peace Jam Club is challenging 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th classes to a fundraising competition to support the Alliance for the Lost Boys of Sudan and its GOATS Program which stands for “Give Others the Ability to Survive” . This program helps women at risk and their children in South Sudan; the ‘goat’ can provide a family with food, fertilizer, and offspring that can be raised and sold for profit to improve the family’s economic security. If every student donates a dollar, LHS could give 20 goats to needy families in South Sudan. Forgo the purchase of a $1 soda for a day and help a family for years to come! Collection envelopes will be available in the library and at Mr. Gordon’s desk in the Social Studies office. Have a great day! The Peace Jam Club

Thanks so much to all the students, teachers and parent volunteers who helped to make our campus look its best! Please remember... out of respect for yourself, fellow students and the school, please don't litter! That way we can keep Littleton looking its best all year long! Thanks!
