LHS Daily Announcements

-"If you need to sign up for Behind the Wheel, please go see Ms. Kauffman in her new room- 2-066. Fall driving times are filling up fast."

-It’s time to donate blood and save lives! National Honor Society is hosting a blood drive on Wednesday, September 25th. We have 45 blood donor slots to fill. If students or staff would like to give blood on September 25th, visit Mrs. Corcoran in the library to sign up for a time slot. You must be at least 16 years old to give blood. Donors receive their choice of a $20 gift card to places like Walmart, Amazon, Starbucks, and more.

-Attention: All boys 9th-12th grade that are interested in playing basketball this year. There will be a short informational meeting after school TODAY, Wednesday, September 4th, in the Atrium with Coach Turner. Please only attend if you believe that you are eligible to play for the season. 

-This school year, there is a new district-wide cell phone policy that must be followed by all students and enforced by all staff members. When students enter the building, all electronic devices must be powered off and put away so they are not visible (for example: In a Chromebook bag, small purse, in your locker, etc.). The policy applies even in the hallways/bathrooms/between classes, etc. The ONLY place where your electronic devices can be on and used is during lunch in the Atrium/Cafeteria/Courtyard area. It must be powered back off and put up before the bell rings to dismiss you from lunch. This policy is now in full effect here at LHS.

-This school year we have an exciting opportunity that is being brought to LHS by SIU Medicine - Lunchtime Yoga for both students and staff! Sessions will occur during BOTH A & B Lunch on the following dates: September 5th, 12th, 19th, 25th, & 26th! There are 20 slots available on each date during each lunch shift, so make sure you gather some friends and sign up ASAP. You find the sign-up link on your Global Canvas announcements. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity and resource! 

-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 some time to discuss your response with your class: On Wednesday's you may notice, many of the staff members at LHS wear college, trades, and career-related shirts. We would love to have more students join us for College & Career Ready Wednesdays through the rest of the year! In the spirit of this Wednesday theme, check out the image and share your answer with your class! Don't have a college listed below that you like? Share one that you do and if you are unsure, which college colors, logo, or mascot catches your eye? 

Have a great day Lions!
