-There will be no Art Club this week since we do not have school on Friday due to Spring Break. 

-"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 Mrs. Landon of the Life Skills Department! Mrs. Landon has been with LHS for 7 years! She enjoys her students because of the fun stories they share and taking her class off campus to do volunteer work at Kumler! A woman that inspires Mrs. Landon is Allyson Felix who is the most decorated women's track and field athlete and women's advocate! If you see Mrs. Landon today, please thank her for all of the work she does for her students, her dedication to our school, and her always pleasant personality!

Today's Women's History Quote is: 

"It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you're not."-Marilyn Monroe

-If you are still needing to take the 5Essentials Survey and/or the Panorama survey, we will begin pulling you out of class TODAY during third hour. We are 4% away from reaching our goal.

Teachers - If you are able to get any students checked off the list, we would definitely appreciate that help! 

-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: Let’s pretend that you become famous. What would you be known for?

Have a Great Day Lions!
