-"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.
-Seniors, the approved list for senior service day and the field trips will be posted by the end of the day TODAY. You will need to be sure to check the list to verify that you are approved for all activities. If your name is NOT on the list, then you did not complete all of the pieces for these activities that you needed to and unfortunately there are no changes/exceptions to the provided list. We will make an announcement via intercom as well once it is posted.
-Students don't forget to turn in your solar eclipse permission slips to the academic office by April 8th! If you do not get a permission slip there will be extras in the academic center but you must have it tuned in by april 8th to participate in any activities that day!
-All after school activities will not take place today. Enjoy your spring break!
-This will be the final Women's History Month Announcement. Thank you all for listening and helping to honor the extraordinary women we have working here at LHS!
Each day in March, we have been honoring a woman who has been making history here at Lanphier as a crucial part of our staff and supplying a quote from a historical and inspirational woman!
Today we honor Ms. Foehner (FAY-NOR)!!! Ms. Foehner is in her first year here at LHS and is our new Choir Teacher!! She enjoys getting to work with students one-on-one and seeing their progress week to week! A woman that inspires Ms. Foener is Gymnast and Mental Health Advocate Simone Biles because her abilities are impressive and so is the commitment she has to her craft! If you see Ms. Foehner today, thank her for being an exceptionally talented musician, her ability to share her talent with her students, and for being an incredibly warm and kind person!
Today’s Women’s History Month Quote is:
"A successful competition for me is always going out there and putting 100% into what I'm doing. It's not always [about] winning."-Simone Biles
-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."
