-"Lanphier Poms and Cheer tryouts are approaching! Clinic nights are April 16th and 17th 5pm-7pm, and tryouts are April 18th at 5pm. The packets are available in the doorway of the atrium and online! You will be able to get them during passing periods, lunch or after school. This is a lengthy packet, so do not wait until the last minute to get it filled out. If you have any questions, please reach out to Coach Haley for poms or Coach Kelsey for cheer." 

-Don’t forget that we are recognizing student efforts in making positive behavioral choices and for being on time to all classes and to school. Each week, any student that was referral free and tardy free for the previous week will be entered into the drawing and FOUR student names will be drawn. The winners will be announced and they will come down to the atrium to choose a gift card. We want to ensure that we are making Lanphier a positive, safe, and productive place for all students to learn and thrive so we want to make sure we recognize the efforts of students that are contributing to that goal! Each Monday, every student starts with a clean slate, so if you hit a bump the week before, you will get another chance at the start of each week. We would like to give a shout to Coach Blake Turner and the LHS Football Boosters for providing us with these rewards and encouraging Lanphier students to make safe and positive choices while here at LHS and in the local Springfield community. 

-Sophomores, Jostens will be back tomorrow, Tuesday, March 19th, from 7:30am - 12:30pm to collect your class ring order forms and your letter jacket order forms. BE sure to bring your completed order form and down payment on Tuesday. Any senior who has not picked up their Senior Graduation items - Jostens will be delivering those items at this time also. 

-It is another day of Women's History Month! Each day of the month, we are honoring a woman who is making history as a part of the Lanphier Staff and supplying a quote from an inspirational woman! 

Today we honor MS. POTTER of the Student Support Services Department! Ms. Potter has been with LHS for 9 years!! She enjoys the relationships she has developed with her students! A woman that inspires Ms. Potter is Jennifer Lopez! If you see Ms. Potter today, thank her for her unorthodox methods, her ability to make people feel heard and loved, and her great sense of humor!

Today's Women's History Quote is: 

"You have to remember the value of your individuality-that you have something special and different to offer that no one else can." -Jennifer Lopez

-Now for a moment of silence. 

-Please Rise for the Pledge of Allegiance. 

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

-And now it’s time for today’s welcoming ritual, please take a moment to discuss your response with your class: Yesterday was St. Patrick’s Day! Do you have any St. Patrick Day traditions that you participate in each year? Share your traditions with your class! 

Have a Great Day & a Great Weekend Lions!
