Finally, if you are still planning to submit a picture from an outside photographer, I must have your picture by this Friday or it will not be included in the yearbook. No exceptions. See Mrs. Smith with questions. Thank you.

Hello LHS parents… as you begin putting your summer items away in preparation for autumn, please keep in mind that PTO would love any “gently used” patio umbrellas for our courtyard tables. Our students are using the courtyard area regularly, and the added shade provided by umbrellas we currently have are a welcome reprieve when the sun is beating down. Please contact Wendy Burbage (WLB1963@msn.com)  if you have any you’d like to donate, and we will put them to good use. Thank you!

For further information on the PSAT, the practice SAT test, please stop by the Counseling office.  The cost of the test is $20 and will be held at LHS on Oct. 17 at 7:30 am.  Space is limited and signups will go thru Oct. 12. 

PLAN - Practice ACT, all sophomores will be required to take the PLAN test at LHS on Oct. 10 beginning at 7:30 am.  Additional information will be distributed to the students prior to the test.  There is no fee for the test. 

THE STRIDE is a community 5K and 10K running and walking event coming on October 28. It is organized by the Littleton Foundation to raise money for our schools, and financial awards are given to the schools that have the most participants. Last year LHS beat out Heritage and Arapahoe and we received one thousand dollars for our school. We want to win again this year and we need your help. Get your friends and family members to sign up for THE STRIDE through our school webpage. If you sign up this week, on or before Friday, you will get $5 off your registration fee. That means just $15 if you are under 17. See any of the PE staff members if you need more information. Get your registrations in and let's win this thing again LIONS!!!
