Environmental Club Article in Selectman's Upcoming Event Magazine

4/30/2023

 
Picture
  Eleven graduating seniors from Lyme-Old Lyme High School were honored by the Old Lyme Open Space Commission on April 19th for their volunteer work on town conserved land.
   Each student lent a hand on town stewardship projects over their four years at LOLHS, from their freshman through senior year, via the school’s Environmental/Community Service Club.
  The students received certificates signed by First Selectman Tim Griswold and Asst. Principal Jeanne Manfredi, as well as Open Space T-shirts.
The Commission also recognized Environmental Club advisor and faculty member Heather Fried who supervised the students’ site work.
    Nine students, Ms. Fried and Open Space Commission members are shown in the photo.
  Student volunteers recognized were Elsie Arafeh-Hudson, Callie Bass, Livie Bass, Jaimie Bucior, William Danes, Alexis Fenton, Willa Hoerauf, Monique Lavoie, Madeleine Morgado, Lyla Powers and Samantha Tan.
 The club’s work included clearing invasive plant growth, building bridges along trails, spreading mulch around the Barbizon Oak, and clearing sites in Ames Open Space for two viewing areas. The latter were created along a section of the Black Hall River [also called Bucky Brook] so hikers might spend time watching beavers, herons, egrets, wood ducks and other animals while in the nature.
   Other young volunteers assisting the Open Space Commission included college interns who spent last summer working on the town’s Ferry Landing Wildlife Refuge, and high school students who worked with raw wildlife video footage to edit and fashion videos now posted on the town YouTube channel.
   The Commission expects to employ a college intern again this summer and a high school student to complete additional video editing.
   All the students’ contributions are sincerely appreciated by the Commission. As important, the Open Space Commission hopes that these young citizens will find their time spent working in nature to be an inspiration leading to their future involvement as stewards responsible for protecting and preserving Old Lyme’s natural beauty and heritage.

LOLHS Competes in the Annual Electrathon Car Competition

4/22/2023

 
Picture
Cars make their way around the track during the Electrathon car competition at Lime Rock Park in Salisbury Friday. The statewide competition is for high school students, who have to build a small electric-powered race car from scratch, keeping to certain size and battery restrictions, and then compete against each other to see who can go the longest around a race track at Lime Rock in an hour. To see more images of the day and a video of the race, select the image above.
I am not sure of the outcome of the race, however, to see the work and creations of all the students is quite impressive!

NICE WORK WILDCATS!

And to top it off,  the incredible support from the community at large! A special thanks to LYSB and the The Lyme Art Academy.

The Perspective of Students: An interview of 4 LOLHS students

4/22/2023

 
The video below was created by Mr. Eckhart in an effort to share how co-curricular activities impact a student's life... especially students who are new to our district. The video is an interview of sorts with four students who have moved from out of state or are currently here for a year with an exchange program.  Take a look... really great unsolicited feedback about LOLHS.

Wednesday was a busy day for our some of our LOLHS students. In the morning at 9 am, the National Honor Society inducted 45 new members. Then at 7 pm, the induction ceremonies continued as the Spanish National Honor Society welcomed in 44 new members. 

National Honor Society Induction

Congratulations to the newly inducted National Honor Society members. Last years inductees presented this years group by reading a brief biography of each student. It was an impressive and elegant ceremony followed by a festive reception in the Library Media Center . A special thank you to Mrs. Trost and Mrs. Cox for their leadership and guidance.

A special thanks to Sr. Vazquez for his efforts in coordinating a special evening.

LOLHS Techno Ticks End the Season on a High Note

4/6/2023

 
By Anna Davis, Captain of Robotics Team 236​
At the most recent robotics competition at Hartford Public High School, the Techno Ticks ranked 18/40 teams and the team was selected to play in the finals. We were eliminated in the semi finals after our alliance partner's robot broke. Our robot was able to carry the alliance to victory in the quarterfinals but unfortunately, we needed all three robots functional to win the next match, leading to our elimination in the semifinals. Below is the video of our successful finals match.
We also won the team spirit award which can be seen in the pictures, largely thanks to the work of Quinn Williams who put together an amazing pit for our competition and was an excellent ambassador for the team. Sadly, our 25th season has now concluded as we did not qualify for the next level, but the team had a ton of fun along the way and we will have a dinner celebration soon where we will invite alumni to return to celebrate with us.
