Littleton Public Schools is excited to announce the addition of a CHSAA sanctioned boys volleyball team for the 2022 spring season that will run from February 28th through May 5th. The team will be made up of players from Littleton High School, Heritage High School, and Arapahoe High School. All three schools will combine to form a single district wide program. Nationally, boys volleyball is the second fastest growing sport in the country with a 22% increase in high school age participation in the last five years. As evidenced by this fast growth, many young athletes that are new to the sport are finding a niche with the fast paced, dynamic style of play. There will be an informational meeting on Monday, December 13th at 8:00 pm in the Littleton High School Gymnasium for all interested players and parents. If you have any questions, please contact head coach Rob Ridenour at nridenour@lps.k12.co.us. Come out and learn more about this incredible opportunity to be a part of creating a new tradition in LPS!

Want a chance to make a kid's day at our Sister School in Uganda, Africa? Then head to the cafeteria hallway and take a snowflake off of the GIVING SNOWMAN! It will have the age and gender and suggested present of an orphan at the Musana Orphanage--in Iganga, Uganda! This orphanage was started by two LHS alumni in 2009 and has 82 kids living year-round on their campus. They would LOVE to have a present from you to help them have a wonderful Christmas and New Year! Take your presents to the forum to Ms. Prestel and turn them in by Friday, December 17th. Thanks!

From The Library of Congress
Air Raid On Pearl Harbor
On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor , Hawaii Territory, killing more than 2,300 Americans. The U.S.S. Arizona was completely destroyed and the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsized. A total of twelve ships sank or were beached in the attack and nine additional vessels were damaged. More than 160 aircraft were destroyed and more than 150 others damaged.  A hurried dispatch from the ranking United States naval officer in Pearl Harbor, Admiral Husband Edward Kimmel, Commander in Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, to all major navy commands and fleet units provided the first official word of the attack at the ill-prepared Pearl Harbor base. It said simply: AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT DRILL.

The following day, in an address to a joint session of Congress, President Franklin Roosevelt called December 7, 1941 “a date which will live in infamy.” Congress then declared War on Japan, abandoning the nation’s isolationism policy and ushering the United States into World War II. Within days, Japan’s allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on the United States, and the country began a rapid transition to a wartime economy by building up armaments in support of military campaigns in the Pacific, North Africa, and Europe.

CONGRATULATIONS:
Congratulations to the Boys Basketball program for earning a program sweep on Saturday against Thornton. All three levels won their opening games.

Next, the JV won a hard-fought victory 47-36, led by Madix Sanchez with 12 points and Charlie Craver with 11. Finally, the varsity capped off the afternoon with a solid team effort in a 57-31 victory. Three Lions scored in double figures: Luke Renshaw, Emmett Loomis, and Treyton Fletcher. Grady Redding, Evan Jackson, and Peyton Fenner contributed with excellent all-around games. Thank you to all who came out to support your Lions' Hoop Squad.
