YOU! Yes, YOU!!!  The PTO after-prom committee still needs several volunteers to help chaperone at after-prom. We can not sponsor this event without the help of our LHS parents, so please don't wait for someone else to step up to lend a hand, as they are waiting for YOU.... 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.

Don't leave home without 'em.... your bags!  The LHS greenhouse will be the recipient of funds collected April 1- July 1 from Whole Foods Southglenn's Bag Donation Credit Program.  Reuse your own bags and LHS gets 10 cents for each. Don't forget to mention resuse of produce bags. ALL customers, not just the LHS community, can direct their donation to the greenhouse.  Reduce, reuse, recycle and..... REWARD!  Total win-win.
