As part of our campaign against plagiarism, students during advisory came up with slogans to promote the campaign. We then voted  on them and took the top three slogans to create visuals. These visuals are being cyled through and posted on the TVs and around school to keep this reminder fresh in our minds.  I will be sharing a few at a time on a weekly basis. Take a look!

TechnoTicks Celebrate Kickoff of 2022 FIRST Robotics Season
Team 236-TechnoTicks met in a hybrid model this Saturday for the Kickoff of the 2022 FIRST Robotics Season. The team is looking forward to building a robot again, after working remotely on a Cube Satellite project last year, after the regular season was cancelled due to Covid. Students and mentors met in the Media Center, wearing masks, and were joined via Zoom by those who were unable to attend in person. The Kickoff was very exciting, with videos previewing this season’s game theme, playing field, rulebook, and kit of parts. The 2022 theme is “Rapid React”. Watch the game animation below!

Again this year and from the information gathered from an FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) survey, one of our students' interests was sports management.  As a result, Jace Funaro, graduate of LOLHS and currently pursuing a Sports Management career, was contacted and agreed to participate in a Zoom meeting.  Introduced by Victoria Stout, FBLA President, Jace fielded questions about his college experience, his internship experiences, and his current and future goals. Approximately 15 interested students attended and participated in the question/answer period.
