Celebrating Georgia Reads Day with a Trip Down Memory Lane!
Ms. Elmore’s Lit 1 students had an amazing time today visiting Westside Elementary to read to Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. McDowell’s first graders! From reading stories together to helping the younger students write in their response journals, our high schoolers got to be little kids again — and loved every minute of it!
It was a day filled with laughter, learning, and the magic of reading. We’re already looking forward to the next chance to connect with these future book lovers!

LHS Class Cabinet 2026 invites you to support Conner Wisham’s Road to Recovery from Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS).
Conner was diagnosed with GBS this summer on July 2nd; within days of diagnosis, he became completely paralyzed. Conner’s Viking Spirit and positive perspective has carried him through treatments that have given him the ability to move again and walk on his own as he pushes daily to get back to his normal, loving self.
We are asking our Viking family to assist Conner’s family in offsetting their recent, current, and future costs of Conner’s hospital stays, physical therapy, and travel expenses with the purchase of a BBQ dinner plate or to make a donation.
All profits of the BBQ dinner sales go directly to Conner Wisham.

🗽📜 Constitution Day, 21st Century Style! 📜🗽
Today, Mrs. Smith's brilliant US History students didn’t just read the Constitution to celebrate it—they added to it! 💡✨

Heart of a Viking!
Lowndes High School senior Vin Kapoor has created something truly special for his fellow Vikings. After moving to Valdosta last year, Vin discovered the power of art as a way to cope and connect in a new school. What began as coloring during free time has now grown into a full art therapy book, Mindfulness at Lowndes, featuring uplifting text and mandala art pages.
With the support of our Graphic Arts Teachers, Ms. Vannoy and Mrs. Cantrell, Vin has printed 100 copies of his book to share with the LHS library and student body. His hope? That it will provide comfort, creativity, and encouragement to others who may need it.
We are proud of Vin’s heart, talent, and dedication to making a difference in our Viking community. If you would like a copy of his book, please stop by the media center.

❤️ Our Lowndes High HOSA students spent the month of August collecting items to donate to the Macon Ronald McDonald House. This effort was done in honor of a local family who has been blessed by their services over the past couple of months. We are proud of our HOSA students for giving back and supporting families in need. 💙
On August 27-28, Lowndes High School’s FCCLA Officer Team traveled to Camp John Hope in Fort Valley, GA, for Discover Training. Through engaging workshops such as “Growing Your Garden of Membership,” the officers learned new ways to recruit and retain members and how to keep them engaged throughout the year. Other workshops covered community service, national programs, officer duties, and even wellness and self-care. The team returned with bright ideas and is excited to implement these new strategies into their chapter plans!
