A 2013 National School Climate Survey found that nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and more than 30% reports missing at least a day of school in the past month out of fear.  Tomorrow, LHS will join thousands of other schools throughout the nation in a silent protest around bullying and harassment. Plan to bring your silent commitment by reducing your words and/or silencing your social media for the day then join us in the Theater to break the silence after school with a Q & A, bake sale and viewing of the academy award winning “Inside Out”.  See you there!

YOU! Yes, YOU!!!  The PTO after-prom committee still needs several volunteers to help chaperone at after-prom.

This is a great opportunity for dad's to help out, since this is not an event occurring during the work week. Please consider asking your spouse to help out. Or find a friend and volunteer together. We are in need of 8-10 more parents. Thank you in advance for helping out. http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0a4faca623a13-littleton/sign. Thank you, also, to everyone who has already stepped up and volunteered.
