On Thursday evening we celebrated the senior award recipients. Congratulations to all the award winners! Way To Go, Ben!
WAY TO GO WILDCATS!By: Aron D’Aquila, Faculty Advisor Lolhs had a strong showing at this year’s Geography Challenge Competition held at Central State University. The wildcats finished 4th, only 2 points off the podium. They were one of only 2 teams that scored a perfect score on the problem solving activity. Representing the wildcats were: senior Oliver berry, juniors Simon Karpinski, Caeli Edmed and freshman Owen Shapiro. Also on the team, but couldn’t attend because of advancing in the shorelines tennis tournament is Rose Dimmock sophomore. Nice Work Wildcats!The Classical Association of Connecticut just released news regarding the State Latin Exam that is administered annually at LOLHS. Congratulations to Matilda Miller and Sam McKenzie who both earned the Cum Laude Award for their scores they earned on this year's exam.
On Thursday evening we celebrated all the underclass academic scholars. |
A huge thank you to everyone who has brought plastic in for our Trex Competition. The competition has now ended, and the collection boxes will be removed from their locations. If you still have plastic to recycle and would like to support the Trex company you may bring it to the following Connecticut locations: Big Y, Stop and Shop, Target, Kohl's, Whole Foods, Shaw's, Price Chopper. Thank you again for your support and participation! |
Here is the plan for the rest of the week...
Don't forget to plan!
LOLHS Mock Trial Team returned last week from their exciting trip to the National Competition.
We had a fantastic time! We went 1-3 in our trials, which I would argue should have been 2-2 (we think we beat Alabama!) We went against some incredibly prepared teams and in speaking with other coaches, some of those teams had been practicing 3 hours a night/5 days a week for the past 6 weeks! Our team was phenomenal, as usual, but given how much our kids have going on, the results were not surprising! We really tried to keep the kids focused on having a great time, meeting other kids and enjoying the experience and we definitely accomplished that!
I've said it before and I will say it again - these kids are incredible and such wonderful ambassadors for our school. I was so proud of how they conducted themselves, their maturity and their sportsmanship. They were competitors, but they were also kind, especially when we went against a much less skilled team. It was an experience I will never forget and I am so thankful to have been able to share this season with Delaney, especially, but all of the kids. They are a talented bunch and have great things ahead of them.
WAY TO GO WILDCATS!
LOLHS was recognized by the American Red Cross this year for our efforts and success in the amount of blood we were able to collect during our bi-annual blood drives. Student Council was proud to recognize and congratulate Grace Zembruski for being selected to receive the first ever American Red Cross Blood Services High School Scholarship in the amount of $250. Her efforts and commitment to these events made this possible. |
Well Done Grace!
Well done Emmerson!

Way To Go Wildcats!
Some ECE Chinese students were zooming with their pen pals from Beijing 101 High School, a prestigious school in Beijing, China that is now our sister school. Since the start of the exchange programs before Covid-time, we have had four exchange students from China in our high school. Recently, we have received some teachers and administrators from Beijing 101, who seemed to be very impressed with our school. Their teachers are very interested in the exchange of ideas and teaching resources with our teachers, and Chinese classes are the first to jump on this opportunity to have students zoom and write emails to each other. This is the second time of student zoom meeting, and a smaller group, but more will follow. Students exchanged ideas about academics and their personal lives, as well as overseas studies.
