Viking Family,
This week, November 17–21, LCS is observing Homeless Youth Awareness Week to shine a light on student homelessness and the power of compassion and courage.
On Wednesday, November 19, we invite all staff and students to “Go Green for Good.”
Wearing green is a simple, visible way to help raise awareness of the challenges many of our students face. Last year, more than 275 LCS students qualified for services under the McKinney-Vento Act, living in shelters, motels, cars, or doubled-up housing.
This campaign is our chance to say loud and clear: No student facing hardships walks alone.
Thank you for joining us in this important effort!

LHS HOSA recently held a coin drive for our national service project, NMDP (formerly Be the Match), in honor of our LHS Counselor Mrs. Erica Cooper. Mrs. Cooper is currently undergoing treatments for B-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and has helped us spread awareness of B-ALL and other forms of blood cancers. Thanks to the generosity of our students and staff we were able to raise $3,445.30 to donate to NMDP!
Don't miss tomorrow's Powder Puff Games. Come out and cheer on your class! Admission is $5 and concessions will be available. This is a CASH ONLY event.
