Mr. Eckhart' Week 5

4/27/2020

 

Remembering the Honor Code during Distance Learning

4/26/2020

 
Distance Learning has become our new normal and technology has become our best friend - something we cannot live without, unfortunately.  Access to the internet and all it has to offer, can also be very tempting when completing assignments. In the past several weeks, cheating and plagiarism concerns, unfortunately,  have been on the rise.

I write this post to remind us all that, although we are not meeting face to face with our teachers or walking the halls of LOLHS, we still uphold the same expectations. Please take a minute to review, once again, the LOLHS Honor Code. Grading for Qtr 4 has shifted to enable students to show success through engagement and formative assessments and feedback. Continuing to do your work as best you can and reaching out to your teachers for support when needed, is always the best policy.

Some Creative Work:

Mr. Vazquez asked his students that as an alternative to writing 10 sentences using the conditional tense, they had the option of using this tense while writing a lyrics to a song, or find a movie and record over the part of the conversation.
Here were two submissions from two students:

An Amazing Senior Project:

4/26/2020

 
Right before we went into isolation, on March 11, I had the pleasure of recognizing and celebrating the Rotary Student of the Month for Technology Education: Will Bartlett. That morning, Will and Mr. Goss shared the plans and progress Will has made on his senior project which was to convert a Model T gas engine to an electric one. Will had been going into school at 6 am to  work on this  project as well as during every free minute of the day.
Well, take a look at the progress Will has made to make this a reality. Will has truly used this time is distance learning being very productive.
NICE WORK WILL!
KEEP IT UP

They have worked tirelessly this year impacting our local, national and international communities. The slide show below was presented at the induction and includes all of their work for this year.

LOLHS' Spectrum  GSA  of the Year Finalist!

4/24/2020

 
Picture
LOLHS would like to recognize all the members of Spectrum for being nominated and considered as FINALISTS for The GLSEN GSA (Gay-Straight Alliance) of the Year Award. This award recognizes and celebrates a GSA for its outstanding work and commitment to advocating and organizing around LGBT issues in their school.  

Spectrum is a socially conscious club that runs educational activities aimed at dispelling minority stereotypes and encouraging broader understanding and appreciation of people of all sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, ethnic backgrounds or national origins and disabilities. 

Spectrum was recognized as being tremendous advocates. The communication from GLSEN reads: "While the committee has selected another GSA as the 2020 GSA of the Year, we wanted to commend you all on the incredible impact you are making at your school and in your communities and for being recognized as one of the top GSAs in the country!   As we mentioned in the interview, we would like to congratulate the entire Spectrum CT club for being selected as a finalist! In recognition of your GSA’s accomplishments, we will be adding your school’s name to the GSA Honor Roll list in our Press Release and our website! 

                     WAY TO GO SPECTRUM!
           Thank you for all your amazing work this year and
                all you do to make our school a safer place.

                                               
CONGRATULATIONS

A message from the Office of the First Selectman and inspired by an idea from the Town of Old Lyme Kindness Committee: 

Congratulations to Latin Scholars:

4/19/2020

 
Picture
LOLHS Latin scholars participate in The National Latin to demonstrate their achievement in the study of Latin.
The National Latin Exam is an opportunity for students to experience a sense of personal accomplishment and success through the study of the Latin language and culture.  The opportunity exists for each individual student since he or she is not competing with fellow students on a comparative basis, but is evaluated solely on his or her own performance on the exam.
LOLHS would like to RECOGNIZE AND CONGRATULATE
the students
who demonstrated their achievement
in their Latin studies.
Cum Laude: Phoebe Lampos (Latin I)
Magna Cum Laude: Van Lampos (Latin I)
Silver Maxima Cum Laude: Thomas McCarthy (ECE Latin)
Silver Maxima Cum Laude: Trevor Wells (ECE Latin)
