Club Announcements:
Attention all Student Council officers, Ambassadors and General Council members!! We have a General Council meeting in the forum at 2:20 on Monday the 29th! We will be finalizing all of our Halloween events and distributing
t-shirts. See you there!
Halloween is next week and Student Council wants you to think of the most creative or most creepy, or most imaginative or most ghoulish costume ever! We are hosting a Costume Contest on Wed. Oct. 31st--head to the cafeteria during an off period and get your picture taken by a Student Council member, and you are automatically entered into the Contest. Prizes will be awarded and winners announced the next day. Make sure your costumes are Code of Conduct appropriate--meaning no full face masks, suggestive outfits, or inappropriately gross and gory costumes. Thanks!
Besides Costumes, what else do we associate with Halloween? PUMPKINS! Student Council is hosting a Pumpkin Carving Contest open to all students AND teachers on Tuesday Oct. 30th! We will be in the cafe with all the carving tools you need, just bring your imagination! Be there at 2:30 to carve away! Prizes will be given to the top Pumpkins and they will be displayed in the front lobby on Halloween day. See you there!

It is time to send your friend or sweetheart a Halloween O Gram! A Halloween O Gram is a message and a handful of candy that you buy from a Student Council member and send to your friends! Student Council will be selling these for only a dollar! All the money goes to the Musana Orphanage in Uganda-so help Student Council out and buy lots of Halloween O Grams.
Hello LHS families! Last year PTO organized an upgrade to the library, filling the two empty planters with silk plants. The plants have given the library a whole new look. It’s a wonderful improvement! This year, we will be tackling the planters in the cafeteria. We can use your help! If you have any silk plants (green plants only, please) that you are no longer using, we can put those to use in the cafeteria. PTO will begin collecting plants, and when we have enough, we will start “planting” new displays. If you have anything you would like to donate, please bring them to school (leave them with Therese Mashak) or email Wendy Burbage (wlb1963@msn.com). Thank you in advance for helping us beautify our school!
