Field Day 2019

5/27/2019

 
On Thursday, LOLHS participated in the long awaited Pep Rally, followed by a school wide BBQ prepared by our amazing kitchen staff; and culminated in a great Field day! No matter where you were, students and faculty were having fun, whether it was playing flag football, ping pong, or basketball, challenging themselves to trivia or singing to Karaoke in the auditorium, relaxing on the track playing yard games, frisbee, 4-square... the choices were seemingly endless. As for food after the BBQ... cotton candy, popcorn, ice cream sandwiches, lemonade... all the necessary parts to a wonderful, fun packed, carnival-like field day! It was a really great way to welcome in summer, enjoy each other's company outside of the classroom, and relax just a bit before we begin to  wrap up the end of the year and prepare for exams.
Special thanks goes to LOLHS Student Leaders and Mr. Zubek for planning this event with such detail. Well Done WIldcats!

Pep Rally Prep!

5/27/2019

 
LOLHS has started a new tradition to enhance our school culture.  Members of the senior, junior and sophomore classes stayed after school from 7-9:30 to enjoy pizza while creating posters to decorating the gymnasium. Themes included "Senior Memes", "Welcome to the Jungle" (Juniors) and "Super Sophomores". The energy and creativity of our students are always amazing. Next year we are hoping the freshmen class will join in on the fun. ​

LOLHS @ 28TH ANNUAL GEOGRAPHY  CHALLENGE

5/27/2019

 
By Mr. Elliott
A team of 5 students from Fairfield Warde High School of Fairfield won the 28th annual Connecticut High School Geography Challenge at Central Connecticut State University in New Britain on Wednesday, May 22.  The Connecticut High School Geography Challenge is an annual statewide interscholastic academic team competition hosted by Central Connecticut State University and its Department of Geography.  The theme of this year’s highly competitive event was “Global Health and Disease”. Eighteen high school teams from around Connecticut competed in events focused on this year’s theme of “Global Health and Disease”.  In the morning students scoured the CCSU campus in a modified orienteering event, read traditional maps and online GIS information in the map reading activity, and hunted for a gang of spies in a virtual scavenger hunt problem-solving activity.   In the afternoon all teams competed in a geography quiz bowl.  These events all had thematic “Global Health and Disease”-related questions for students to solve and answer.

Two teams of five students each from Lyme—Old Lyme High School finished second and fourth, and Housatonic Valley Regional High School’s team from Falls Village came in third.  The second place Lyme—Old Lyme High School team was composed of students Juliette Atkinson, Kathryn Atkinson, Rachael Larson, Ryan McTigue, and Connie Pan.  The fourth place Lyme—Old Lyme High School team students were Tess Allan, Eleanor Dushin, William Larson, Nikolai Stephens-Zumbaum, and Alex Williams.  Only 12 points separated the top four teams.
              WAY TO GO WILDCATS!

The Booster Club is putting together the Board of Directors for next school year.  We need candidates!! Board positions are open to family members of students and residents in Lyme or Old Lyme.

Find out more about the Booster Club!
 
We need parents and grandparents are encouraged and welcome! This is a very rewarding job in terms of lots of volunteer opportunities exist, as much or as little as you want and no experience is necessary.

LOLHS 2019 HS BOWL Shoreline Champions

5/19/2019

 
By Mr. Elliott
Although Lyme-Old Lyme HS finished 5-3 at the end of the regular season and seeded 5th going into the tournament, the team was ready to set the record straight.  In the regular season it had lost to Old Saybrook and HK by ten points or less and had a terrible match against Hale-Ray. 
After an extremely close quarter final match against HK, LOLHS prevailed 155-150.  In the semifinal match, LOLHS was matched against #1 seed Westbrook.  Despite Westbrook jumping to an early 20-0 lead, LOLHS regained the initiative and continued to lead despite a 3rd quarter rally by Westbrook when they closed the gap.  LOLHS won this semifinal 195-115.

In a nail biting final against the Hale-Ray team that beat us badly in the regular season, LOLHS jumped to a 120-15 lead only to fall behind 210-170 with only minutes to play.  A strong fourth quarter rally by LOLHS clinched the match 230-210 and therefore became Shoreline champions for the first time since 2010 despite reaching the semifinals or finals every intervening year!

High scorer for the tournament was junior Ryan McTigue with 155 individual points followed by sophomore Connie Pan with 100 points and then Kathryn Atkinson and Sean Spina with 10 points each.  Rachael Larson, Joshua Liefeld, and Avery Wyman also contributed to the 390 team points scored during the tournament. ​
                           WAY TO GO WILDCATS!

Springtime Attire

5/12/2019

 
Picture
This is just a friendly reminder of the LOLHS dress code guidelines.

As spring comes rushing in, the dress code seems to get forgotten... hence the plea for support and assistance.  


​LOLHS takes great pride in the appearance of our students and believe that student dress reflects upon the quality of our school.  In order to help create a positive and professional learning environment we ask the following:
  • Clothing must NOT be inappropriately revealing, oversized, or immodestly undersized (e.g. halter-tops, off the shoulder or low-cut tops, spaghetti straps, bare midriffs, short shorts and extremely short skirts – recommended fingertip length) and ... must conceal undergarments at all times. 
I hope that together we can help guide our students in their wardrobe choices. Thank you in advance for your awareness and support  as we confront the never ending challenge of balancing  teen fashion and the professional, academic environment at Lyme-Old Lyme High School.

Dylan has already put to use the skills and knowledge he has learned  and has created a business called The Community Shift, complete with its own website and business cards. Dylan started with an idea his freshman year and it became a reality his junior year.  Dylan has put to use his business savvy to together with his environmental consciousness to create a 'social idea': "The theory is to establish sites on Organic Farms within the United States. By doing this, a fresh source of food is automatically provided." He has spoken to clubs and organizations about The Community Shift. Dr. Hedwall and I cannot wait to watch Dylan’s endeavor grow.
           CONGRATULATIONS DYLAN!
