-Everyone is invited to join the Where Everyone Belongs (WEB) in room 245 on Wednesday, November 1st, for a film about a famous pizza place. 

-It’s that time of year! We will be holding our United Way campaign through November 3rd. 

The United Way is a local initiative that raises funds and distributes them to organizations and charities in the community that improve everyone's quality of life. 

Additionally, there will be donation jars in the main lobby where students can contribute spare change to tape one of our administrators to the wall as part of our United Way campaign. The chosen administrator will be announced at our United Way celebration assembly on November 3rd. 

All the change collected during the United Way campaign will be donated to the United Way. Historically, LHS has raised more money than both Southeast High School and Springfield High School. Last year, we raised $4,572.09, and it is our goal to raise even more this year. 

Also, in celebration of our United Way campaign and the kick-off to Winter Sports Season, we will be having a spirit week next week featuring the themes that students voted for! There will be a flyer shared with you via your Global Canvas announcements also. Here are the themes:
