Dear Family,

I hope everyone enjoyed the fun Homecoming weekend!  It was great to see so many students and families enjoying themselves at Tailgate and then at the exciting football game against Monrovia. Half time was a highlight with the LCHS Marching Band performance, the announcement of this year’s Homecoming queen, and a fabulous fireworks show!  The HOCO dance on Saturday was a great way for the students to wrap up the weekend, and from what I heard from my 11^th grader, it was a very fun night!

It’s these events that make our students’ high school years so memorable.  We can all truly appreciate how special these times are after having to cancel them or do them virtually during Covid.  Thank you to Mr. Cartnal and Dr. Gold, and to all of the students, parents, and staff members that volunteered for Tailgate and made the Homecoming festivities possible!  I want to extend a special Thank You to our Tailgate chairs – Holly Breckheimer, Sharon Anderson, Alli Regan, Karyn Perez, and Jennifer Miller.  

There is more to look forward to this month including our PTSA Meeting this Thursday, Oct. 19th at 8:45 am in the Staff Lounge.  Red Ribbon Week will be next week, Oct. 23^rd - 27^th.  Read below for more details and opportunities to volunteer.

I wish everyone a great week and hope to see you at the PTSA meeting!  Please reach out with any questions to ptapresident@lchsptsa.org.

Warm Regards,

Christine Chant, LCHS PTSA President

Next week, the campus will be decorated with red ribbons in honor of Red Ribbon Week.  Each day at lunch there will be activities that students can participate in that promote awareness of the dangers of drugs and alcohol and that “Choices Matter”. Activities will include challenges using drunk driving goggles, an opportunity for students to make a pledge to make good choices on the Choices Matter poster, and various Lunch and Learn seminars.

Some of the other events will include:

* Monday, 10/23 – a crashed car will be on display in the Oak Grove parking lot. Representatives from MADD will be there to answer questions.

* Tuesday, 10/24 – Students will watch the “One Pill Can Kill” video in advisory.

* Thursday 10/26 – Students will attend a grade-level specific assembly to listen to impactful speakers regarding the dangers of drug use and its affects.

Staff and parent volunteers will help with activities and answer questions.  We will need parent volunteers each day at lunch. If you’re available to help, please click here.
