The Lyme Road Race Sunday, April 8th @ 9:00 am. The race is going to start/end at Ashlawn Farm. Registration begins at 7:30 am. The class of 2020 thanks you for your support! This weekend I hope you had an opportunity to experience the fantastic talent that our students have in the arts....either at the District Art Show or at the Old Lyme Players production of Once Upon a Mattress. Take a look! The Fine Arts at the District Youth Art ShowThis weekend marks the conclusion of the 2018 District 18 Youth Art Show exhibited at the Lyme's Art Academy. As I walked through the rooms of the Art Academy viewing the student work, I was once again reminded of the talent that our students have and the technique that Mr. Raiti, Mr. Allik and Mrs. McDonald foster on a daily basis. The stunning student work that was presented in the halls of the Academy included ceramics, digital art, sculpture, drawing and painting and reinforced once again what makes LOLHS such an impressive school. The Preforming Arts... Once Upon a MattressThis weekend the Old Lyme Players out performed yet again! The professional quality of this year's musical absolutely astounded me.... from the sets to the costumes, the music, dancing, acting,... every aspect was extremely professional and truly a joy to watch! The cast, crew, directors and parents are due an ovation for such a wonderful production. Well done Old Lyme Players!  There will be an informational meeting and sign-up opportunity for the LOLHS Biennial Washington DC trip on Thursday, April 5th @ 6pm in Auditorium. This trip is only open to students in the Classes of 2019 and 2020 (current Sophomores and Juniors).

Visible and Invisible Women:
On Monday, March 13th, the Spanish AP class explored the similarities and differences that young women are facing in the 21th century when leaving their homes in the US and in other countries of Central America. Students examined and discussed photos of girls who have gone missing while crossing the border between the USA and Mexico. They also watched a video to learn about issues that young women face when living on college campuses in the United States. The class began when students arrived to find pairs of red shoes displayed around the classroom. By the end of the class, students had learned that the display of shoes was inspired by a Mexican artist who is bringing awareness of these issues to people around the world.

Once again the musical talents wowed the crowd last Tuesday with a combined band and chorus concert. The musical notes mixed with the voices made for a beautiful melodic evening. Well done Wildcats! Student meet every Tuesday afternoon in Mr. Lillie's room to enjoy a challenging game of chess.
