🐾💙 It's been a busy week in Life Skills! Our LHS Life Skills students rolled up their sleeves and volunteered to help the APL get ready for their Upscale Collectible Sale — an important fundraiser for homeless dogs and cats! 🐶🐱
They cleaned and labeled crates, swept floors, carried tables, and unloaded trucks — putting in tons of hard work and heart. 💪✨
We are so proud of their eagerness to help others. Every student earned an A for the day! 🌟 #LHSpride #LifeSkills #CommunityHelpers #AnimalRescue #Adoptdontshop

🌎💚 Our Lanphier Life Skills students got hands-on for Earth Day! They picked up trash all around our school campus — and even beyond — filling FOUR 5-gallon buckets! 🚮✨
Next up: learning to separate trash from recycling as part of their life skills training. ♻️
We’ll wrap up the week with a special showing of The Lorax! 🎥🌳
Way to go, Lions! 🦁 #EarthDay #LanphierPride #LifeSkills #TheLorax

🎉 Field Trip Fun! 🎒
Thanks to a generous grant from the Springfield Public Schools Foundation that Mrs. Landon wrote, her class along with Mrs. Hawkins, and the Lanphier Life Skills students took an exciting trip to the Illinois State Museum right here in Springfield!
Students explored the rich history of Illinois, discovered fascinating fossils, learned about native wildlife, and participated in hands-on exhibits that brought science and social studies to life! From mastodons to prairie life, the museum offered an unforgettable learning experience. 🦴🌾🖐️
We’re so grateful for the opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world exploration!

🐾🦅 The Lanphier Life Skills crew had a wildly fun day at Scovill Zoo! Ms. Hawkins and Ms. Landon’s classes enjoyed an unforgettable trip filled with animal adventures, from feeding guinea pigs to spotting a ringtail lemur with baby twins!
🚂🎠 Our students loved the train and carousel rides, and it was extra special to see the bald eagles they’ve been learning about in science class. Huge thanks to the zoo staff for being so welcoming and helpful — it was a fantastic experience all around! 🌟# Northside #LanphierPride #LifeSkillsInAction #ZooDayFun #HandsOnLearning
