-Are you interested in building community amongst the high schools and developing your leadership skills? Do you want to contribute to being a voice for students? Then the Superintendent’s Student Roundtable may be for you! The Roundtable is open to all high school students in District 186.

-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.

-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! 

-Our first home football game is TONIGHT here at Memorial Stadium at 7pm. Please remember to bring your school-issued ID from last year or be able to login your phone and pull up your cumulative folder when entering the game. Also remember, you MUST be eligible to attend.
