On Wednesday, April 13th, 9th and 10th grade students will be taking the PSAT tests, while 11th graders will be taking the SAT. Because these tests will be taking most of the day, and disrupt the entire class schedule for LHS, Seniors will not be required to attend school on Wednesday, April 13th.
9th - 11th grade students can be dismissed once they have completed PSAT and SAT testing, which will be around 1:30. Buses will run for 9th-11th graders at 2:00.
These were the classes with the highest attendance percentages last week during IAR testing. All classes had great attendance. I'm so very proud of them and the teachers for the work that they've put in this year.
1st
Hamm- 100%
Stark- 100%
2nd
Wiggs- 99%
3rd
Otten- 96%
Both 1st place teams will receive pizza tomorrow! 2nd place will receive ice cream! And 3rd place will receive fruit snacks!
Congratulations to all!
Mr. Stark's class was pleasantly surprised when they came into the classroom this morning. One of the praying mantis eggs hatched over the weekend. The class went outside during a pause in the rain showers to hold and release them. There were between 75 and 200 mantises that hatched from the one egg case.
