EGO Day - 2021

6/7/2021

On Wednesday last week, LOLHS welcomed in our class of 2025 with our annual Eighth Grade Orientation (EGO). Students were separated into four groups and rotated through four activities that included a Teacher / Student panel, a Getting Involved Panel, a Tour and a Club fair/ Athletic Presentation. The class also met with their future class advisors in the gym to participated in some team building / pep rally competitions... just to get them prepped for next year. After lunch under the tent, students enjoyed an ice cream treat with their class and then returned to the tent to hear the amazing speeches from each candidate for the Class of 2025 officers. It was a great day ... a lot of information was shared and hopefully absorbed. We are looking forward to next year. Stay tuned for information about our Freshmen Picnic which will take place on August 25... the day before school begins!

Rotary Student of the Month

6/7/2021

Congratulations to Emerson Colwell...

for being selected by the Physical Education and Health Department as the June Rotary Student of the Month. Emerson Colwell is a very dedicated student who puts his best foot forward and seeks to accomplish whatever goal he sets forth and goes above and beyond to crush that goal. This year, Emerson was a PEEP for Mr. Cohen this year. PEEP stands for Physical Education Exemplary Personnel. As a PEEP, his best attribute is motivating students to challenge themselves and to continue to take risks and be fearless. For Emerson's senior project he joined the 1,000lb club in weight lifting. To get to the 1,000lb club, one needs to bench press, squat, and deadlift weight that equals 1,000lbs or more. When Emerson first started, he was around 750lbs-850lbs. Being able to do something of that caliber takes a lot of mental toughness and dedication. Emerson will be attending Avery Point this upcoming fall. He eventually hopes to study Exercise Science. Eventually, Emerson would like to own his own Gym.

Well Done, Emerson!
