PJ Day for the Kids is an opportunity for students and business partners across the state to show support for patients at Connecticut Children’s. Over the last 8 years, hundreds of thousands of participants have worn PJ’s in honor of children at the hospital who must wear their PJ’s for extended periods of time while fighting cancer or other serious illnesses.
See video below for more info: On Friday, December 13, LOLHS students along with the entire district participated in this event. LOLHS exceeded their goal of collecting over $500! WAY TO GO WILDCATS!  Elizabeth Cravinho and Trevor Wells were awarded the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents’ (CAPSS) Superintendent/Student Recognition Award for leadership and service to the school, academic prowess relative to ability, and service to others in the community. The ceremony held on Tuesday December 10 at Saybrook Point Inn. Ian Neviaser, Superintendent of Schools of Regional School District 18, made the presentation as part of a program designed by school administrators to recognize students who have served their schools and communities while maintaining good scholastic progress.

  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. Click on the image below to read the full story published in The Day on November 20th. 
By: Arianna DelMastro For the Spanish Honor Society’s most recent bulletin board, Jane Scheiber, Rachael Larson, and Arianna DelMastro focused on Latinx art in three major categories: music, literature, and visual arts. The board educated students about significant Latinx artists, but it also contained some unique attributes. To offer a better understanding of the musical aspect, students viewing the board could visit Spotify to listen to a specially-crafted playlist consisting of music by the featured artists. Students were also invited to take a tear-away poetry sample in either English or Spanish to further immerse themselves in the world of Hispanic literary arts.     On Friday December 13, NHS, Student Leaders, Student Advisory Council and Community Service Club are collaborating to host PJ Day to benefit the Center for Cancer & Blood Disorders at Connecticut Children’s Medical Hospital. We encourage everyone to donate $1 or more in their homeroom to be able to wear PJ’s to school while supporting this important organization!  NHS is hosting their annual toy drive to benefit local families this holiday season! Berries can be found in the library that indicate which gifts are requested. To participate, take a berry and return the berry with the unwrapped gift to the library by December 12 (gift cards must be given to library staff). We appreciate your support in brightening the holiday season for local children! Members of FBLA collected coats in conjunction with the annual Best Cleaners Coat Drive. Best Cleaners is a Middletown company who recently expanded and opens in the Hall’s Plaza. Nice Work Wildcats!   The Student Advisory Council (SAC) sponsored a Thanksgiving Day Luncheon for the entire High School faculty and staff on Monday, November 25. The students planned, organized and prepared the delicious meal to simply say "THANK YOU" to all of the people who help and support them on a daily basis. For decorations, students wrote 'thank you' notes on strips of orange paper and spread them out for them to send their message home. It was a wonderful and yummy way to kick off the season...and prep for Thanksgiving!
