In about one week, on October 20th, LOLHS students and staff will be putting down their books at 11:30 to attend 3 different 40 minute workshops that they selected this week. The goal of the day is to foster and encourage a more balanced and healthier life style by learning techniques and tools that will help in this endeavor. This year, thanks to the generosity, effort and willingness to volunteer time and expertise , we have 30 workshops to offer. Take a look at the incredible selection of workshops:

Hola from Willa Hoerauf, Grace Colwell and Izzy Reynolds from Spanish Honors Society! National Hispanic Heritage Month takes place from September 15th to October 15th this year. This month celebrates the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Hispanic or Latin American countries. These next few days, we will be informing you about important Hispanic-American and Latin-American people from different backgrounds who have impacted our current American society. To start off; What is the difference between Hispanic and Latinx?
Hispanic refers to people from spanish-speaking countries or people with spanish-speaking descendants. This can include people from Spain and certain South American countries. Latinx, however, specifically focuses on people from or descending from spanish-speaking countries in Latin America. This does not include Spain and Portugal, because they are in Europe. There’s a distinction because many people believe that the term Hispanic reasserts a relationship between conquered South American countries and their conquerors, Spain and Portugal. All 9,10 and 11th Grade students will be participating in the PSATs. Seniors will not be required to come in until 12:45 for last period of the day.
ATTENTION: OCTOBER 13 WILL BE AN A DAY - SENIORS WILL NOT BE ATTENDING SCHOOL THAT DAY. Start thinking ahead to Spring and support the Class of 2024! We are selling beautiful spring flower bulbs. To purchase please use the QR on the flyer to order online or place an order with any sophomore student.
Thank you! The Class of 2024 Students in AP European History class recreated paintings from the Renaissance in order to analyze both the significance and artistic character of the work.
