At Wednesday's Parent Advisory Board meeting, I shared all the events that we have scheduled at this point through to the end of January. For a shortened list, I also post on the right margin of this blog post for easy access. Parents can find these events  on the district website - LOLHS calendar or on the Canvas calendar is you are an observer to your student.
​Additionally, I shared various systems of communications with links to show how to access these systems. Please review and if you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact Tammy Noyes @ noyest@region18.org.

Below we have this years first two episodes of WLYM - LOLHS' source for "ALL THINGS WILDCAT".

Student Leaders and Student Advisory Council have teamed up this year. They are now LOLHS' STUDENT COUNCIL under the advisor-ship of Ms. Rahr and Ms. Mercaldi. The group is in planning mode for Spirit Week - which is the last week of September. The week will culminate with our Annual Homecoming Dance! Check out the slides below to get all the details of spirit week dress code as well as the Homecoming dance.

During both lunches on Friday, Student Council members sponsored the second Newcomers Pizza Lunch. Students in Study Hall joined in as well to enjoy some pizza and conversation with our newcomers and Kona we even had a visit from Kona! 

​The Model UN Club is already off to an exciting start. They had their second meeting and are beginning the plans to attend the UCONN conference in November. Ella Halsey and Will Coppola will be leading the group as Co-Presidents. The club meets on Tuesday mornings at 7:10 in room 119. Anyone interested, please attend or see Mr. Lillie.

On Thursday afternoon, Ms. Corah brought the Unified Sports Team to Bluff Point in Groton to go crabbing.Lots of crabs were caught and fun was had by all!

One of the first Physics labs in Mr. Fisler's classes was... "The Marshmallow Challenge." This is a simple design exercise and team-building activity for small groups. The groups have to build the tallest free-standing structure from some spaghetti sticks, tape, and string and place one whole marshmallow on the top. Running the challenge requires about 1 hour and some simple household items. The exercise teaches essential lessons about the creative product development process and the nature of collaboration. 

Mr. Andrew Carroll comes to us from Mercy High School as a new member of our World Language Department as the new Latin Teacher. Prior to moving back east, he called Colorado home for a while.  He is still learning a lot about CT and says that L-OL is one of the prettiest places he has gotten to know. When asked about his first impressions of LOLHS, he says: "LOLHS is an amazing community that really cares about the students and staff. It really does feel like some of the private schools I've worked at but in a public setting. I wish more students had a school like LOLHS in their district. "
