General:

The Bear Club is looking for your used printer cartridges and unwanted cell phones. These items can be taken to Mr. Bunton’s room.

The College Success students will be holding a fundraiser on Thursday and Friday for the animal shelter. They will be bringing cats and dogs that have been adopted for you to meet. Please come and see the cats in the morning in the commons and the dogs during your lunch period they will be happy to see you. Every donation helps to assist the shelter in caring for all the animals. Our Local Animal Shelter runs solely on donations. This time of the year is the hardest for them having animals being dropped off in poor condition. So please drop by.

The LHS Student Council will be sponsoring the annual blood drive on Thursday, January 13 from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm. Students and staff are welcomed to give the gift of life. You must be 17 years of age or 16 years of age with a signed Red Cross parent/guardian consent form, weigh at least 110 pounds, be in good health, and it must be 56 days since giving whole blood or 112 days since their last double red cell donation. There are also requirements of the Red Cross regarding medications, vaccinations, tattoos and body piercing etc.

If you would like to sign up for giving blood the sign sheet will be in the library with Mrs. Peggar. Mrs. Peggar will have all the forms needed in the library. You must have a pre-arranged for giving the blood preferably during your study hall. If you have no free time discuss this with your teachers to miss class. It takes approximately 1 hour to give blood. Our goal this year is 50 units. If you plan to give blood start eating foods rich in iron and drink plenty of fluids. You will need your student ID or drivers license the day of the blood drive. If you have any questions please see Mrs. Krings or Mrs. Diamond.
