​Rachel Barretta presents Goliath to her English class this past week. Goliath is her  twenty-three or so year-old macaw. Rachel's project actually explored how macaws are negatively affected by deforestation. 

Ms. Schreindorfer recognized  her period 2 class for consistently demonstrating kindness, compassion and inclusion to all and by all. They are truly an HONORABLE and ADMIRABLE class!
                            WELL DONE WILDCATS!

Once again, the LOLHS Music Department presented yet another amazing evening of talent and tunes. Jazz Band, Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble wowed the crowd! It was also a bittersweet moment for Mr. Wilson as he bids farewell to the seniors. 
                            Well Done Wildcats!

In partnership with the Old Lyme Land Trust (OLLT), Alec started out with the idea to do something on the John Lohman Connecticut River Preserve. It has beautiful terraced fields, and a very majestic point that goes out into the river a little bit. These trails, according to Alec, needed a good spot to stop and admire the nature. Alec's project was to create a Reflection Area, a spot with a good seat, and a fantastic view where you can sit and close your eyes, and embrace the nature around you. Through many days of hard planning, and running all over Old Lyme, East Lyme, and Old Saybrook collecting donations from various businesses, namely Laysville Hardware and UBS, I gathered my volunteers and built the benches, as well as installed them, in 2 days. They should be there for decades to come, beckoning people to embrace the beauty that surrounds them in this world that moves way too fast.
                                Nice Work Alec!

On April 30th, Evan Visgilio and Caroline Wallace were acknowledged at the Michael's Cup Unified Athletics Banquet for their participation in the Unified Community. The banquet was held at the Aqua Turf in Southington, CT and gathered nearly 100 Middle School and High School Unified Athletes and Partners! Both Caroline and Evan received plaques for the Mike Savage Teammate Award which emphasizes individuals who exemplify the ideals of the positive spirit of the sport and core mission of education-based athletics. Great job Evan and Caroline! Go Wildcats!

Students enrolled in AP European History had the opportunity to enrich their learning (in preparation for their AP Exam this week) to explore the Wadsworth collection of art with a docent led tour of European paintings from the Renaissance to the postmodern era. Highlights included a Caravaggio, Monet, & a Van Gogh. 

​On Friday, April 26th, fifteen LOLHS students attended the annual CT State Latin Day at Holiday Hill with nearly 2000 other Classically-minded students from across the state. Despite the late rain, the students actively engaged in various academic, cultural, and athletic events, all while dressed in Roman garb. Students competed in various academic tests and contests, made laurel crowns and curse tablets, and attended workshops on legal Latin and astronomy, among many, many other activities.  Congratulations to Aoife Hufford and Kathryn Atkinson for their third consecutive costume contest medal, and to Olivia Bartlett on her first!  Excelsior!
