STUDENT BULLETIN:
Seniors - Come check out your yearbook senior photo posted in the senior hallway. Let Mrs. Fisher or Eva Grenawalt know right away if you see any issues. This is your final chance to make any changes before these pages go to print.
Students and staff, did you know that the number one item requested by homeless shelters is men's large white crew socks? With colder weather approaching and the holidays just around the corner, we are hosting a sock drive to benefit the Denver Rescue Mission. If you are able to help this great cause, you can drop off new men's large white crew socks in the LHS Counseling office.
Remember to grab a snowflake from our Giving Snowman too! Swing by the cafeteria hall; all you have to do is take a snowflake off the snowman and buy the gift suggested on the flake. All the gifts will be sent to our sister school in Uganda to help those 82 kids have a special holiday! Bring the gifts to Ms. Prestel's desk in the Social Studies office by December 21st.
