Heads up! Just a reminder about the Cohort Program parent/ Family meeting is tonight at 5:30 p.m. in the Auditorium. This meeting is only for those students assigned to Assistant Principal, Ms. Nosa.
An informational meeting for boys that are interested in Track & Field will take place immediately after school on Thursday 9/25 in Mr. Martin's classroom, room 1-073.
We had a wonderful event this past week for our Seniors that gave them insight on their future! Mr. Metzke, our Post Secondary Coach, works diligently to get our Seniors prepared for what their next steps will be after they graduate. This Pathway to the Future event was one of many examples that he plans for our students. We thank everyone who came together to make this possible for our students! Their future is very bright!

Lanphier Life Skills Students Get a Boost Towards Workforce Readiness
Students from the life skills classrooms at Lanphier High School are gaining independence and preparing for future careers thanks to a revitalized program. Today, students picked up their bus passes from the Springfield Mass Transit District (SMTD) administrative center, which they will use to travel to various work sites across the city. SMTD offers free bus passes anyone (student or adult) with a differing ability.
At their host sites, students will gain valuable, real-world experience and develop essential skills that will help them successfully transition from school into the workforce. In addition to learning to travel independently, students in this program will learn how to shop, plan, budget, communicate, handle money, and fill orders, among many other valuable skills. This program provides hands-on learning opportunities that are crucial for their personal and professional growth.
The program is currently seeking additional local businesses to partner with. If your business is interested in regularly hosting Lanphier students and their teachers, please contact instructors Ms. Hawkins or Mr. Logsdon at 217-525-3080. They can also be reached by email at jhawkins@sps186.org or rlogsdon@sps186.org.
