​On Friday Oct 29, Student Leaders sponsored a Halloween Costume Contest. Prizes were awarded for the scariest, funniest, best duo and best overall costumes.  Winners were chosen from each lunch wave, and an overall winner for each category was ultimately selected. Thank you to our teacher voting panel and bravo to our students for their creativity and humor! 

​The Class of 2024 enjoyed a fun Fall Festival on Thursday.  The highlight of the evening was a raucous Cake Walk organized by parent Dottie Wells.  Students also loved carving and painting pumpkins, playing badminton and ping pong, and watching the movie Coraline.  Pizza, popcorn, and drinks were enjoyed by all.  It was great to spend time playing and laughing together. 

Chemistry students celebrate "The Mole" every year on (or around) October 23.  This year's Mole Day theme was "Hamoleton"  (from the play Hamilton).  The kids have to make an original, theme-based project.  ​
 
(A mole is equal to 6.02 X 1023 and is important in our chemistry conversions throughout the year.)

Take a look at some of the creative representations:

Congratulations to Will Larson who was selected as the Rotary English Student of the Month! He is not only a gifted English student, but he also embodies all the best characteristics of a Lyme-Old Lyme High School leader. In addition to English, Will has earned academic awards in US History, European History, and World Language. He is an active member of the Mock Trial Team, the High School Bowl Team, and the Athletic Leadership Council. He is also a captain of the Varsity Soccer Team, a member of the Varsity Crew team, and is part of both the National Honor Society and the Spanish National Honor Society. Will was Lyme-Old Lyme's representative to the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Council, and somehow, he also found time to earn his Eagle Scout Award by giving back to his church community and building an outdoor chapel for St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Old Saybrook. Will is so deserving of this honor.

Seventeen FIRST Robotics teams met at Lyme-Old Lyme High School’s “Bash at the Beach” off-season event yesterday. Competition was fierce but friendly, with teams getting the chance to break out their 2019 robots, recruit new drivers,  and re-play the “Infinite Recharge” game theme. This year’s Bash was especially poignant, because the 2019 season was cut short due to COVID 19, and the 2020 season was a virtual challenge, without robots. Everyone was thrilled to be back, seeing old friends and making new ones. Thanks to our co-hosts #1740 Ledyard Cyber Colonels, #2067 Apple Pi, and all of the volunteers and mentors from Lyme-Old Lyme’s Team 236 TechnoTicks for ensuring that the event ran smoothly and a good time was had by all!
