Contact Mrs. Fried or Mrs. Trost with questions They are happy to deliver!  Congratulations to Hannah Morrison for being selected by the Math Department as the Rotary Student of the Month for her excellence in Mathematics. She was recognized this past week along with students from Westbrook and Old Saybrook. Mrs. O'Leary and Mrs. Leen both recognized and celebrated Hannah's accomplishments in and out of the classroom. Hannah goes above and beyond when it comes to Mathematics. She was instrumental in developing and implementing what is now known as our own LOLHS MAC (Math Academic Center) Lab where students are able to access math help from their peers during any period of the day as well as before and after school. This has been a wonderful addition to our LOLHS academic community. Well Done Hannah! Our Chef Claude Shef was joined last week by Mr. Jim Motes, our Latin Teacher. Mr. Motes and Chef Shef prepared and served an amazing Vietnamese Pho Chicken Bowl with chicken, noodles, veggies, broth and crunchy asian toppings. IT WAS DELICIOUS! Monday, November 12, proved to be, yet again, a wonderful demonstration of LOLHS' gratitude and honor for our local Veterans. Our Wildcat Band and Chorus performed with heart and soul that stole the show. Commander Glenn Elliott was selected as this year's guest speaker to honor not only his 20 years of service to our country in the Navy, but also for the 20 years that he has devoted to the Lyme-Old Lyme community. Connor Wyman received the Voice of Democracy Award and was recognized by the local VFW. He gave his thoughtful, award-winning speech to the audience: "Why my voice matters".

The Lyme Old Lyme Schools are considering an expansion of our current Pre-K program to allow all age eligible students in the towns of Lyme and Old Lyme to attend. In an effort to prepare all of our students for Kindergarten, our tentative plan is to expand our Pre-K offerings to all students in Lyme and Old Lyme and establish a universal Pre-K program based on Connecticut’s Early Learning and Developmental Standards. We also hope to entice non-residents to move to our district, or enroll their students on a tuition basis, to enjoy this added benefit. This tentative plan would begin in the 2019-2020 school year. To assist in the planning process, we are asking for your input. If you have a child that will be three or four years old by September 1, 2019, and are interested in your child being considered for this program, please complete the following survey before November 15, 2018. Survey results will be used in both our planning process as well as in securing spots in this exciting new program. The survey can be found on our website at http://www.region18.org/page.cfm?p=2207.
 A team of Lyme-Old Lyme High School students and faculty joined eight other teams from schools in the region to share, discuss and brainstorm ways to improve our programming in "Getting Life Ready!" The objectives for the day included:
 The Old Lyme Players' production this weekend of Midsummer Jersey was fantastic! The performances were outstanding and absolutely hilarious. Bringing Shakespeare's Midsummer's Night Dream to New Jersey is not an easy feat... however, Old Lyme's Players did it effortlessly. Well done Old Lyme Players! Congratulations to all who made this play a true success.  Molympics is friendly competition between HS chemistry students that emphasizes the use of “the mole”, a chemistry variable used to compare molecules to each other. This competition started between a few chemistry teachers spread out throughout the country as a way to celebrate chemistry in a fun way. It is celebrated on October 23 each year, in collaboration with National Chemistry week, since one mole= 6.02 x 1023 particles. Molympics is set up with 5 events that focus on different aspects of the mole using physical tasks, lab skills and through calculations. Each team is measured on accuracy, speed and clear calculations in each event. This year’s events included calculating the time it would take to make 1 mole of tally marks, squeezing out 1 mole of water from a sponge, estimating the mass of one mole of a metal, building a tower of rubber stoppers as high as possible then calculating the height of one mole of rubber stoppers and a relay race of 6 sit-ups, 2 sidesteps, 10 pushups and 23 jumping jacks. Out of 109 schools that participated around the world, LOLHS finished in 4th place in our first appearance at Molympics! Great job Wildcats!
The National Honor Society and the Community Service Club of Lyme-Old Lyme High School are collaborating on this event to help our local community in preparation for the Lymes’ Youth Service Bureau’s Holiday Giving Program. Please help us with Operation ‘Stuff It’ by bringing canned goods to the high school all this week! There is a large turkey in the commons waiting to be stuffed... and all homeroom teachers will be collecting food as well! Thank you in advance for all your help and support with this event. The National Honor Society and Community Service Club students will be working hard to motivate our school community to ‘Stuff’ our turkey in the Commons! Mary Beth Schreindorfer & Tracy A.
