LOLHS Ends 2019 with a Bang!

12/30/2019

 
On December 20 LOLHS welcomed, once again, our Pre-Schoolers to judge our annual Door Decorating Contest. Student Advisory Council students welcomed them with open arms and toured them around the building to show them the sights. This years door winners are: Mrs. Todd's homeroom for their very creative snow globe, Mrs. Cleveland's homeroom for the very secret placement of the wildcat paw, and finally... the entire Science Department for their overall presentation of an amazing Polar Express decking the halls of LOLHS!
Once the doors were judged and the Pre-Schoolers departed, the high school enjoyed their annual Holiday Assembly put on by the Student Leaders. It began with our incredible band performing a few holiday songs, followed by some quick class holiday competitions and the gran finale, we enjoyed the beautiful voices of the select singers! What a way to end 2019! Here we come 2020!

Economical Awareness
We (the Spanish National Honor Society)  explored different careers and jobs that you can thrive in with a degree in the Spanish language. We found that having knowledge of Spanish can help in many different careers, from being a doctor, teacher, working in foreign affairs, or even being a flight attendant. We were very interested in how our learning in class can help us in our future, so this was a good way of figuring that out.

LOLHS Student Recognized for Restoring Local Veterans Memorial

12/1/2019

 
On Monday November 11, Veterans Day was celebrated with a service conducted at the Veterans Memorial at the Lyme Town Hall Complex on Hamburg Road.  The service included remarks from local dignitaries, attendees joining voices in the Pledge of Allegiance, and, harkening back to the origins of Armistice Day, the tolling of a church bell eleven times followed by a moment of silence to remember all those who have served throughout history in defense of our freedoms.  While sharing his remarks with those in attendance, the current Chairman of the Lyme Veterans Memorial Committee, Steve Olstein, took a few minutes to recognize the efforts of Evan to conceptualize the idea, pursue the approvals and funding, and then carry out over the course of the summer all the work required to create a border garden around the town’s Veterans Memorial.  Mr. Olstein presented Evan with a hat signifying honorary membership in the Lyme Veterans Memorial Committee.
