Hi LSS

Let’s start off this last “This Week” with a HUGE thank you to students’ council for a great FUN day. It was so good to have some classic fun.

Thank you to SHAPE for White Shirt day (June 18^th) – raising awareness about the prevalence of sexual assault and harassment in our community.

 

I also want to thank the PAC for their leadership and support for the school. The commitment, time and energy of our volunteers helps to make LSS amazing. On September 21, 2021 the PAC will be meeting at 6:30 pm to determine the executive. Please plan to attend.

 

To sign off for the year I would like to say that it is a privilege to do this job and to work with such a great staff, supportive parents, a giving community and most of all impressive students as we all work together to shape their future.

 

To our grads, nothing would make me happier than for you to stop in and update us on where your path leads and to hear that you have carried on the tradition of trying your best, getting better each day, doing the right thing as it’s now your lifelong way.

 

Enjoy the summer and ride your bike
