-"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 who 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.
-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. Sammons of the Science Department! Ms. Sammons has been with LHS for 2 years as a teacher (she is an LHS graduate)!! She enjoys the LHS community because she knows that if she ever needs anything, there will be someone who will listen and understand! A woman that inspires Ms. Sammons is Scientist Marie Curie! If you see Ms. Sammons today, thank her for vast wealth of knowledge, her contagious smile, and her sweet personality!
Our Women's History Quote for the Day is:
"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained." -Marie Curie
-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 with your class: It’s March Madness! What is March Madness? It’s the college, NCAA Division I men’s basketball single elimination tournament of 68 teams that compete in 7 rounds for the national championship! The first round of this tournament begins today! If you are following the NCAA tournament, who are you predicting to be the CHAMPION of the tournament? If you aren’t looking forward to the NCAA tournament, what is something that you are looking forward to this coming weekend?
Stay tuned for a little March Madness fun later on this afternoon! Information will come out via your global Canvas announcements and via the intercom!
Have a Great Day Lions!
