Week of January 29

At the first semester celebration last Friday, we recognized our accomplishments and set goals for the second semester.  Here are just a few of the first semester celebrations from Friday: LMS students were on time to class 99.9% of the time; forty students had perfect attendance; two thirds of our students earned a place on the  honor roll; and students earned over 10,500 Scout Outs.   We are shooting for over 12,000 Scout Outs this semester and the Student Leadership Team is coordinating the class cup.  Styled after the house cup in the Harry Potter stories, grade levels will compete in a variety of challenges.  Some will be just for fun, such as the balloon race in Friday's assembly, others will be based on things like grades and attendance.  The grade in the lead will have possession of the house cup.  This community building activity supports our theme "If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you." We recognize our successes, but we are never satisfied.  Rather we seek to continuously improve in support of becoming the best school we can be.  Thank you for supporting your student in the first semester and we appreciate your continued support for the remainder of the year. 

Laramie High School would like to invite the class or 2022 (this year's 8th graders) to attend a high school informational night at 7 pm on Monday, February 5th.  Incoming freshmen and their families will have the opportunity to learn about graduation requirements, Hathaway requirements, and course options (including new courses).  The program begins at 7 pm in the LHS Theatre.  After the presentation there will be an opportunity to speak with high school teachers in the LHS Commons.  If you have any questions, please contact the LHS Counseling Office at 721-4488.

Mr. Reitzel  has formed the Scout Studio, an after school creative workshop for serious artists. The Scout Studio will be open from 3 to 4 every school day.  Participating students will draft proposals for projects that will be generally 2-3 weeks in length.  Students with approved projects can participate in the Scout Studio.  The first meeting is on Monday, February 5th.  Interested parties should contact Mr. Reitzel.
